Microsoft Azure Linux Agent README INTRODUCTION The Microsoft Azure Linux Agent (waagent) manages Linux & FreeBSD provisioning, and VM interaction with the Azure Fabric Controller. It provides the following functionality for Linux and FreeBSD IaaS deployments: * Image Provisioning - Creation of a user account - Configuring SSH authentication types - Deployment of SSH public keys and key pairs - Setting the host name - Publishing the host name to the platform DNS - Reporting SSH host key fingerprint to the platform - Resource Disk Management - Formatting and mounting the resource disk - Configuring swap space * Networking - Manages routes to improve compatibility with platform DHCP servers - Ensures the stability of the network interface name * Kernel - Configure virtual NUMA (disable for kernel <2.6.37) - Consume Hyper-V entropy for /dev/random - Configure SCSI timeouts for the root device (which could be remote) * Diagnostics - Console redirection to the serial port * SCVMM Deployments - Detect and bootstrap the VMM agent for Linux when running in a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012R2 environment * VM Extension - Inject component authored by Microsoft and Partners into Linux VM (IaaS) to enable software and configuration automation - VM Extension reference implementation on https://github.com/Azure/azure-linux-extensions COMMUNICATION The information flow from the platform to the agent occurs via two channels: * A boot-time attached DVD for IaaS deployments. This DVD includes an OVF-compliant configuration file that includes all provisioning information other than the actual SSH keypairs. * A TCP endpoint exposing a REST API used to obtain deployment and topology configuration. REQUIREMENTS The following systems have been tested and are known to work with the Azure Linux Agent. Please note that this list may differ from the official list of supported systems on the Windows Azure Platform as described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2805216 Supported Linux Distributions: * CoreOS * CentOS 6.2+ * Debian 7.0+ * Ubuntu 12.04+ * openSUSE 12.3+ * SLES 11 SP2+ * Oracle Linux 6.4+ Other Supported Systems: * FreeBSD 10+ (Azure Linux Agent v2.0.10+) Waagent depends on some system packages in order to function properly: * Python 2.6+ * OpenSSL 1.0+ * OpenSSH 5.3+ * Filesystem utilities: sfdisk, fdisk, mkfs, parted * Password tools: chpasswd, sudo * Text processing tools: sed, grep * Network tools: ip-route INSTALLATION Installation via your distribution's package repository is preferred. You can also customize your own RPM or DEB packages using the configuration files provided (see debian/README and rpm/README). If installing manually, waagent should be copied to /usr/sbin/waagent and installed by running: # sudo chmod 755 /usr/sbin/waagent # sudo /usr/sbin/waagent -install -verbose The agent's log file is kept at /var/log/waagent.log. Note: Provision Guest Agent must be enabled for Linux VM in Azure. But if you are running Linux VM created from your VHD file or unchecked the VM agent option during creating Linux VM in Azure portal, the value of provision guest agent on the VM may not be set to "True". You need run below PowerShell command to set the ProvisionGuestAgent to "True": Powershell command: $vm = Get-AzureVM -ServiceName 'MyServiceName' -Name 'MyVMName' $vm.GetInstance().ProvisionGuestAgent = $true UPGRADE Upgrading via your distribution's package repository is preferred. If upgrading manually, same with installation above, waagent should be copied to /usr/sbin/waagent to override original file and installed by running: # sudo chmod 755 /usr/sbin/waagent Restart waagent service,for most of linux distributions: #sudo service waagent restart For Ubuntu, use: #sudo service walinuxagent restart For CoreOS, use: #sudo systemctl restart waagent Check the agent version, you will see it is updated to new version: #waagent -version or(on Ubuntu) #walinuxagent -version COMMAND LINE OPTIONS Flags: -verbose: Increase verbosity of specified command -force: Skip interactive confirmation for some commands Options: -conf=/path/to/file.conf: Specify configuration file to use instead of default one. Commands: -help: Lists the supported commands and flags. -install: Manual installation of the agent * Checks the system for required dependencies * Creates the SysV init script (/etc/init.d/waagent), the logrotate configuration file (/etc/logrotate.d/waagent) and configures the image to run the init script on boot * Writes sample configuration file to /etc/waagent.conf * Any existing configuration file is moved to /etc/waagent.conf.old * Detects kernel version and applies the VNUMA workaround if necessary * Moves udev rules that may interfere with networking (/lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules, /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules) to /var/lib/waagent/ -uninstall: Unregisters the init script from the system and deletes it. Deletes the logrotate configuration and the waagent config file in /etc/waagent.conf. Automatic reverting of the VNUMA workaround is not supported, please edit the GRUB configuration files by hand to re-enable NUMA if required. Restores any moved udev rules that were moved during installation. -deprovision: Attempt to clean the system and make it suitable for re-provisioning. Deletes the following: * All SSH host keys (if Provisioning.RegenerateSshHostKeyPair is 'y' in the configuration file) * Nameserver configuration in /etc/resolv.conf * Root password from /etc/shadow (if Provisioning.DeleteRootPassword is 'y' in the configuration file) * Cached DHCP client leases. * Resets host name to localhost.localdomain. WARNING! Deprovision does not guarantee that the image is cleared of all sensitive information and suitable for redistribution. -deprovision+user: Performs everything under deprovision (above) and also deletes the last provisioned user account and associated data. -version: Displays the version of waagent -serialconsole: Configures GRUB to mark ttyS0 (the first serial port) as the boot console. This ensures that kernel bootup logs are sent to the serial port and made available for debugging. -daemon: Run waagent as a daemon to manage interaction with the platform. This argument is specified to waagent in the waagent init script. CONFIGURATION A configuration file (/etc/waagent.conf) controls the actions of waagent. A sample configuration file is shown below: # # Azure Linux Agent Configuration # Role.StateConsumer=None Role.ConfigurationConsumer=None Role.TopologyConsumer=None Provisioning.Enabled=y Provisioning.DeleteRootPassword=n Provisioning.RegenerateSshHostKeyPair=y Provisioning.SshHostKeyPairType=rsa Provisioning.MonitorHostName=y Provisioning.DecodeCustomData=n Provisioning.ExecuteCustomData=n Provisioning.PasswordCryptId=6 Provisioning.PasswordCryptSaltLength=10 ResourceDisk.Format=y ResourceDisk.Filesystem=ext4 ResourceDisk.MountPoint=/mnt/resource ResourceDisk.EnableSwap=n ResourceDisk.SwapSizeMB=0 LBProbeResponder=y Logs.File=/var/log/waagent.log Logs.Console=y Logs.Verbose=n OS.RootDeviceScsiTimeout=300 OS.OpensslPath=None HttpProxy.Host=None HttpProxy.Port=None The various configuration options are described in detail below. Configuration options are of three types : Boolean, String or Integer. The Boolean configuration options can be specified as "y" or "n". The special keyword "None" may be used for some string type configuration entries as detailed below. Configuration File Options: Role.StateConsumer: Type: String Default: None If a path to an executable program is specified, it is invoked when waagent has provisioned the image and the "Ready" state is about to be reported to the Fabric. The argument specified to the program will be "Ready". The agent will not wait for the program to return before continuing. Role.ConfigurationConsumer: Type: String Default: None If a path to an executable program is specified, the program is invoked when the Fabric indicates that a configuration file is available for the VM. The path to the XML configuration file is provided as an argument to the executable. This may be invoked multiple times whenever the configuration file changes. A sample file is provided in the Appendix. Please note that the XML schema used in this file may change in the future. The current path of this file is /var/lib/waagent/HostingEnvironmentConfig.xml. Role.TopologyConsumer: Type: String Default: None If a path to an executable program is specified, the program is invoked when the Fabric indicates that a new network topology layout is available for the VM. The path to the XML configuration file is provided as an argument to the executable. This may be invoked multiple times whenever the network topology changes (due to service healing for example). A sample file is provided in the Appendix. Please note that the XML schema used in this file may change in the future. The current location of this file is /var/lib/waagent/SharedConfig.xml. Provisioning.Enabled: Type: Boolean Default: y This allows the user to enable or disable the provisioning functionality in the agent. Valid values are "y" or "n". If provisioning is disabled, SSH host and user keys in the image are preserved and any configuration specified in the Azure provisioning API is ignored. Provisioning.DeleteRootPassword: Type: Boolean Default: n If set, the root password in the /etc/shadow file is erased during the provisioning process. Provisioning.RegenerateSshHostKeyPair: Type: Boolean Default: y If set, all SSH host key pairs (ecdsa, dsa and rsa) are deleted during the provisioning process from /etc/ssh/. And a single fresh key pair is generated. The encryption type for the fresh key pair is configurable by the Provisioning.SshHostKeyPairType entry. Please note that some distributions will re-create SSH key pairs for any missing encryption types when the SSH daemon is restarted (for example, upon a reboot). Provisioning.SshHostKeyPairType: Type: String Default: rsa This can be set to an encryption algorithm type that is supported by the SSH daemon on the VM. The typically supported values are "rsa", "dsa" and "ecdsa". Note that "putty.exe" on Windows does not support "ecdsa". So, if you intend to use putty.exe on Windows to connect to a Linux deployment, please use "rsa" or "dsa". Provisioning.MonitorHostName: Type: Boolean Default: y If set, waagent will monitor the Linux VM for hostname changes (as returned by the "hostname" command) and automatically update the networking configuration in the image to reflect the change. In order to push the name change to the DNS servers, networking will be restarted in the VM. This will result in brief loss of Internet connectivity. Provisioning.DecodeCustomData: Type: Boolean Default: n If set, waagent will decode CustomData from Base64. Provisioning.ExecuteCustomData: Type: Boolean Default: n If set, waagent will execute CustomData after provisioning. Provisioning.PasswordCryptId: Type:String Default:6 Algorithm used by crypt when generating password hash. 1 - MD5 2a - Blowfish 5 - SHA-256 6 - SHA-512 Provisioning.PasswordCryptSaltLength Type:String Default:10 Length of random salt used when generating password hash. ResourceDisk.Format: Type: Boolean Default: y If set, the resource disk provided by the platform will be formatted and mounted by waagent if the filesystem type requested by the user in "ResourceDisk.Filesystem" is anything other than "ntfs". A single partition of type Linux (83) will be made available on the disk. Note that this partition will not be formatted if it can be successfully mounted. ResourceDisk.Filesystem: Type: String Default: ext4 This specifies the filesystem type for the resource disk. Supported values vary by Linux distribution. If the string is X, then mkfs.X should be present on the Linux image. SLES 11 images should typically use 'ext3'. FreeBSD images should use 'ufs2' here. ResourceDisk.MountPoint: Type: String Default: /mnt/resource This specifies the path at which the resource disk is mounted. ResourceDisk.EnableSwap: Type: Boolean Default: n If set, a swap file (/swapfile) is created on the resource disk and added to the system swap space. ResourceDisk.SwapSizeMB: Type: Integer Default: 0 The size of the swap file in megabytes. LBProbeResponder: Type: Boolean Default: y If set, waagent will respond to load balancer probes from the platform (if present). Logs.File: Type: String Default: /dev/stdout If set, logs are appended to this file (instead of stdout). Bundled config (config/waagent.conf) sets this to '/var/log/waagent.log'. Logs.Console: Type: Boolean Default: n If set, waagent also logs to serial console. Bundled config (config/waagent.conf) sets this to 'y'. Logs.Verbose: Type: Boolean Default: n If set, log verbosity is boosted. When waagent logs to file it can leverage the system logrotate functionality to rotate logs. OS.RootDeviceScsiTimeout: Type: Integer Default: 300 This configures the SCSI timeout in seconds on the root device. If not set, the system defaults are used. OS.OpensslPath: Type: String Default: None This can be used to specify an alternate path for the openssl binary to use for cryptographic operations. HttpProxy.Host=None HttpProxy.Port=None Type: String Default: None If set, agent will use proxy server to access internet APPENDIX Sample Role Configuration File: <?xml version="1.0"
