Book Description

Thanks to its flexibility in delivering scalable cloud solutions, Microsoft Azure is a suitable platform for managing all your workloads. You can use it to implement Linux virtual machines and containers, and to create applications in open source languages with open APIs.

This Linux administration book first takes you through the fundamentals of Linux and Azure to prepare you for the more advanced Linux features in later chapters. With the help of real-world examples, you'll learn how to deploy virtual machines (VMs) in Azure, expand their capabilities, and manage them efficiently. You will manage containers and use them to run applications reliably, and in the concluding chapter, you'll explore troubleshooting techniques using a variety of open source tools.

By the end of this book, you'll be proficient in administering Linux on Azure and leveraging the tools required for deployment.

What you will learn

Grasp the fundamentals of virtualization and cloud computing
Understand file hierarchy and mount new filesystems
Maintain the life cycle of your application in Azure Kubernetes Service
Manage resources with the Azure CLI and PowerShell
Manage users, groups, and filesystem permissions
Use Azure Resource Manager to redeploy virtual machines
