Uploading to cloud platforms: Azure #148

Open dustymabe opened 5 years ago

dustymabe commented 5 years ago

This is part of https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/146 and tracks the work/discussion around uploading to Azure.

bgilbert commented 5 years ago

I think this involves the following:

[ ] Create (or identify) an Azure subscription that should host the images.
[ ] Agree to Azure publishing agreement.
[ ] Adapt plume for FCOS and update it to use the current Azure Marketplace APIs.
[ ] Upload FCOS images to Azure CI.
[ ] Add Azure support to kola.
[ ] Get whitelisted for Azure EUAP regions and run kola there periodically.

Generation 2 VMs are in public preview. Among other things, they boot via UEFI. The generation is a property of the image, not the disk; the typical approach is apparently to create two linked images (for each of gens 1 and 2) backed by the same disk. That approach would require https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/issues/334.

We just added Azure images to be output by our build pipeline. We are not uploading to Azure yet, but a user can workaround by uploading the image to their account directly.

Great! I'll try it out today :-)

jomeier commented 4 years ago

Looks good. It seems as if the VM needs one (sometimes a few) reboot before it gets Azure DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf. Don't know where that comes from.

LorbusChris commented 4 years ago

how can we push this forward?

dustymabe commented 4 years ago

assuming you're talking about uploading directly to Azure:

step 1: find a magic wand
step 2: wave it

Our hands are tied right now. We need a legal agreement and then accounts created. It's being worked on in the background.

jomeier commented 4 years ago

Hi. Any news about that? Will FCOS ever get on the Azure Marketplace?

Azure is the only major Cloud Provider of the "big three" not having FCOS in the Marketplace that's embarassing.

dustymabe commented 4 years ago

No update.

jomeier commented 4 years ago

@dustymabe : Just me regular question: any updates about that ?

bgilbert commented 4 years ago

The situation is still as described in https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/148#issuecomment-625006126. Locking the issue to reduce noise.

dustymabe commented 2 years ago

It appears Azure now has a community gallery (preview) that we should be able to use to share images that we create publicly.
