an example azure ubuntu virtual machine
# Usage (on a Ubuntu Desktop)
Install the tools:
```bash
./provision-tools.sh
```
Login into azure:
```bash
az login
```
List the subscriptions:
```bash
az account list --all
az account show
```
Set the subscription:
```bash
export ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=""
az account set --subscription "$ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"
```
Review `main.tf` and maybe change the `location` variable.
Initialize terraform:
```bash
make terraform-init
```
Launch the example:
```bash
make terraform-apply
```
At VM initialization time a Custom Script Extension will run the `provision.ps1` script to customize the VM and launch the example web application.
Get the initialization script status:
```bash
az vm get-instance-view \
--resource-group rgl-windows-vm-example \
--name app \
--query instanceView.extensions
```
After VM initialization is done (the log is stored at `c:\AzureData\provision-log.txt`), test the `app` endpoint:
```bash
while ! wget -qO- "http://$(terraform output --raw app_ip_address)/test"; do sleep 3; done
while ! wget -qO- "http://[$(terraform output --raw app_ipv6_ip_address)]/test"; do sleep 3; done
```
You can also list all resources:
```bash
az resource list \
--resource-group rgl-windows-vm-example \
--output table
```
You can execute commands:
```bash
# NB unfortunately, run-command is somewhat limited. for example, it only
# outputs last 4k of the command output.
# see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/run-command#restrictions
az vm run-command invoke \
--resource-group rgl-windows-vm-example \
--name app \
--command-id RunPowerShellScript \
--scripts 'whoami /all' \
> output.json \
&& jq -r '.value[].message' output.json \
&& rm output.json
az vm run-command invoke \
--resource-group rgl-windows-vm-example \
--name app \
--command-id RunPowerShellScript \
--scripts 'param([string]$name)' 'Write-Host "Hello $name!"' \
--parameters 'name=Rui' \
> output.json \
&& jq -r '.value[].message' output.json \
&& rm output.json
```
Access using RDP, either using Remmina or FreeRDP:
```bash
remmina --connect "rdp://rgl@$(terraform output --raw app_ip_address)"
xfreerdp "/v:$(terraform output --raw app_ip_address)" /u:rgl /size:1440x900 +clipboard
```
Inside the RDP session, open a PowerShell session, and poke around:
```powershell
ipconfig /all
route print
ping -6 -n 3 2606:4700:4700::1111 # cloudflare dns.
ping -6 -n 3 2606:4700:4700::1001 # cloudflare dns.
ping -6 -n 3 ff02::1 # all nodes. # NB does not work in azure.
ping -6 -n 3 ff02::2 # all routers. # NB does not work in azure.
ping -4 -n 3 ip6.me
ping -6 -n 3 ip6.me
Resolve-DnsName ip6.me
Resolve-DnsName ip6.me -Server 2606:4700:4700::1111
curl.exe -4 https://ip6.me/api/ # get the vm public ipv4 address.
curl.exe -6 https://ip6.me/api/ # get the vm public ipv6 address.
curl.exe http://ip6only.me/api/ # get the vm public ipv6 address.
curl.exe http://10.1.1.4/test # try the app private ipv4 endpoint.
curl.exe http://[fd00::4]/test # try the app private ipv6 endpoint.
$ipv6_public_test_url="http://[$(((curl.exe -6 -s https://ip6.me/api/) -split ',')[1])]/test"
curl.exe "$ipv6_public_test_url" # try the app public ipv6 endpoint.
echo @"
go to https://dnschecker.org/server-headers-check.php and test the app ipv6 url:
$ipv6_public_test_url
"@
exit
```
Destroy the example:
```bash
make terraform-destroy
```
