Description

Microsoft Azure exposes a powerful API for creating and managing its Infrastructure as a Service platform. The azure module allows you to drive that API using Puppet code. This allows you to use Puppet to create, stop, restart, and destroy Virtual Machines, and eventually to manage other resources, meaning you can manage even more of your infrastructure as code.

Setup

Requirements

Get Azure credentials

To use this module, you need an Azure account. If you already have one, you can skip this section.

  1. Sign up for an Azure account.

  2. Install the Azure CLI, which is a cross-platform node.js-based tool that works on Windows and Linux. This is required to generate a certificate for the Puppet module, but it's also a useful way of interacting with Azure.

  3. Register the CLI with your Azure account.

    To do this, on the command line, enter:

    azure account download
    azure account import <path to your .publishsettings file>
    

    After you've created the account, you can export the PEM certificate file using the following command:

    azure account cert export
    
  4. Get a subscription ID using the azure account list command:

    $ azure account list
    info:    Executing command account list
    data:    Name                    Id                                     Tenant Id  Current
    data:    ----------------------  -------------------------------------  ---------  -------
    data:    Pay-As-You-Go           xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx  undefined  true
    info:    account list command OK
    

To use the Resource Manager API instead, you need a service principal on the Active Directory. A quick way to create one for puppet is pendrica/azure-credentials. Its puppet mode can even create the azure.conf (see below) for you. Alternatively, the official documentation covers creating this and retrieving the required credentials.

Installing the Azure module

  1. Install the required gems with this command on puppet-agent 1.2 (included in Puppet Enterprise 2015.2.0) or later:

    /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install retries --no-ri --no-rdoc
    /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install azure --version='~>0.7.0' --no-ri --no-rdoc
    /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install azure_mgmt_compute --version='~>0.3.0' --no-ri --no-rdoc
    /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install azure_mgmt_storage --version='~>0.3.0' --no-ri --no-rdoc
    /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install azure_mgmt_resources --version='~>0.3.0' --no-ri --no-rdoc
    /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install azure_mgmt_network --version='~>0.3.0' --no-ri --no-rdoc
    /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install hocon --version='~>1.1.2' --no-ri --no-rdoc
    

    When installing on Windows, launch the Start Command Prompt with Puppet and enter:

    gem install retries --no-ri --no-rdoc
    gem install azure --version="~>0.7.0" --no-ri --no-rdoc
    gem install azure_mgmt_compute --version="~>0.3.0" --no-ri --no-rdoc
    gem install azure_mgmt_storage --version="~>0.3.0" --no-ri --no-rdoc
    gem install azure_mgmt_resources --version="~>0.3.0" --no-ri --no-rdoc
    gem install azure_mgmt_network --version="~>0.3.0" --no-ri --no-rdoc
    gem install hocon --version="~>1.1.2" --no-ri --no-rdoc
    

    On versions of puppet agent older than 1.2 (Puppet Enterprise 2015.2.0), use the older path to the gem binary:

    /opt/puppet/bin/gem install retries --no-ri --no-rdoc
    /opt/puppet/bin/gem install azure --version='~>0.7.0' --no-ri --no-rdoc
    /opt/puppet/bin/gem install azure_mgmt_compute --version='~>0.3.0' --no-ri --no-rdoc
    /opt/puppet/bin/gem install azure_mgmt_storage --version='~>0.3.0' --no-ri --no-rdoc
    /opt/puppet/bin/gem install azure_mgmt_resources --version='~>0.3.0' --no-ri --no-rdoc
    /opt/puppet/bin/gem install azure_mgmt_network --version='~>0.3.0' --no-ri --no-rdoc
    /opt/puppet/bin/gem install hocon --version='~>1.1.2' --no-ri --no-rdoc
    

    Note: You must pin Azure gem installs to the correct version detailed in the example above for the azure module to work properly. The example above pins the hocon gem version to prevent possible incompatibilities.

  2. Set the following environment variables specific to your Azure installation.

    If using the classic API, provide this information:

    export AZURE_MANAGEMENT_CERTIFICATE='/path/to/pem/file'
    export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID='your-subscription-id'
    

    At a Windows command prompt, specify the information without quotes around any of the values:

    SET AZURE_MANAGEMENT_CERTIFICATE=C:\Path\To\file.pem
    SET AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=your-subscription-id
    

    If using the Resource Management API, provide this information:

    export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID='your-subscription-id'
    export AZURE_TENANT_ID='your-tenant-id'
    export AZURE_CLIENT_ID='your-client-id'
    export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET='your-client-secret'
    

    At a Windows command prompt, specify the information without quotes around any of the values:

    SET AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=your-subscription-id
    SET AZURE_TENANT_ID=your-tenant-id
    SET AZURE_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
    SET AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
    

    If you are working with both Resource Manager and classic virtual machines, provide all of the above credentials.

    Alternately, you can provide the information in a configuration file of HOCON format. Store this as azure.conf in the relevant confdir:

    • *nix Systems: /etc/puppetlabs/puppet
    • Windows: C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\etc
    • Non-root users: ~/.puppetlabs/etc/puppet

    The file format is:

    azure: {
      subscription_id: "your-subscription-id"
      management_certificate: "/path/to/pem/file"
    }
    

    When creating this file on Windows, note that as a JSON-based config file format, paths must be properly escaped:

    azure: {
      subscription_id: "your-subscription-id"
      management_certificate: "C:\\path\\to\\file.pem"
    }
    

    Note: Make sure to have at least hocon 1.1.2 installed on windows. With older versions, you have to make sure to make sure that the azure.conf is encoded as UTF-8 without a byte order mark (BOM). See HC-82, and HC-83 for technical details. Starting with hocon 1.1.2, UTF-8 with or without BOM works.

    Or, with the Resource Management API:

    azure: {
      subscription_id: "your-subscription-id"
      tenant_id: "your-tenant-id"
      client_id: "your-client-id"
      client_secret: "your-client-secret"
    }
    

    You can use either the environment variables or the config file. If both are present, the environment variables are used. You cannot have some settings in environment variables and others in the config file.

  3. Finally, install the module with:

    puppet module install puppetlabs-azure
    

Usage

Create Azure VMs

Azure has two modes for deployment: Classic and Resource Manager. For more information, see Azure Resource Manager vs. classic deployment: Understand deployment models and the state of your resources. The module supports creating VMs in both deployment modes.

Classic

You can create Azure classic virtual machines using the following:

azure_vm_classic { 'virtual-machine-name':
  ensure           => present,
  image            => 'b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu-14_04_2-LTS-amd64-server-20150706-en-us-30GB',
  location         => 'West US',
  user             => 'username',
  size             => 'Medium',
  private_key_file => '/path/to/private/key',
}

Resource Manager

You can create Azure Resource Manager virtual machines using the following:

azure_vm { 'sample':
  ensure         => present,
  location       => 'eastus',
  image          => 'canonical:ubuntuserver:14.04.2-LTS:latest',
  user           => 'azureuser',
  password       => 'Password_!',
  size           => 'Standard_A0',
  resource_group => 'testresacc01',
}

You can also add a virtual machine extension to the VM and deploy from a Marketplace product instead of an image:

azure_vm { 'sample':
  ensure         => present,
  location       => 'eastus',
  user           => 'azureuser',
  password       => 'Password_!',
  size           => 'Standard_A0',
  resource_group => 'testresacc01',
  plan           => {
    'name'      => '2016-1',
    'product'   => 'puppet-enterprise',
    'publisher' => 'puppet',
  },
  extensions     => {
    'CustomScriptForLinux' => {
       'auto_upgrade_minor_version' => false,
       'publisher'                  => 'Microsoft.OSTCExtensions',
       'type'                       => 'CustomScriptForLinux',
       'type_handler_version'       => '1.4',
       'settings'                   => {
         'commandToExecute' => 'sh script.sh',
         'fileUris'         => ['https://myAzureStorageAccount.blob.core.windows.net/pathToScript']
       },
     },
  },
}

This type also has lots of other properties you can manage:

azure_vm { 'sample':
  location                      => 'eastus',
  image                         => 'canonical:ubuntuserver:14.04.2-LTS:latest',
  user                          => 'azureuser',
  password                      => 'Password',
  size                          => 'Standard_A0',
  resource_group                => 'testresacc01',
  storage_account               => 'teststoracc01',
  storage_account_type          => 'Standard_GRS',
  os_disk_name                  => 'osdisk01',
  os_disk_caching               => 'ReadWrite',
  os_disk_create_option         => 'fromImage',
  os_disk_vhd_container_name    => 'conttest1',
  os_disk_vhd_name              => 'vhdtest1',
  dns_domain_name               => 'mydomain01',
  dns_servers                   => '10.1.1.1.1 10.1.2.4',
  public_ip_allocation_method   => 'Dynamic',
  public_ip_address_name        => 'ip_name_test01pubip',
  virtual_network_name          => 'vnettest01',
  virtual_network_address_space => '10.0.0.0/16',
  subnet_name                   => 'subnet111',
  subnet_address_prefix         => '10.0.2.0/24',
  ip_configuration_name         => 'ip_config_test01',
  private_ip_allocation_method  => 'Dynamic',
  network_interface_name        => 'nicspec01',
  extensions                    => {
    'CustomScriptForLinux' => {
       'auto_upgrade_minor_version' => false,
       'publisher'                  => 'Microsoft.OSTCExtensions',
       'type'                       => 'CustomScriptForLinux',
       'type_handler_version'       => '1.4',
       'settings'                   => {
         'commandToExecute' => 'sh script.sh',
         'fileUris'         => ['https://myAzureStorageAccount.blob.core.windows.net/pathToScript']
       },
     },
  },
}

List and manage VMs

In addition to describing new machines using the DSL, the module also supports listing and managing machines via puppet resource:

puppet resource azure_vm_classic

This outputs some information about the machines in your account:

azure_vm_classic { 'virtual-machine-name':
  ensure        => 'present',
  cloud_service => 'cloud-service-uptjy',
  deployment    => 'cloud-service-uptjy',
  hostname      => 'garethr',
  image         => 'b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu-14_04_2-LTS-amd64-server-20150706-en-us-30GB',
  ipaddress     => 'xxx.xx.xxx.xx',
  location      => 'West US',
  media_link    => 'http://xxx.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/disk_2015_08_28_07_49_34_868.vhd',
  os_type       => 'Linux',
  size          => 'Medium',
}

Use the same command for Azure Resource Manager:

puppet resource azure_vm

This lists Azure Resource Manager VMs:

azure_vm { 'sample':
  location         => 'eastus',
  image            => 'canonical:ubuntuserver:14.04.2-LTS:latest',
  user             => 'azureuser',
  password         => 'Password',
  size             => 'Standard_A0',
  resource_group   => 'testresacc01',
}

Create Azure storage accounts

You can create a storage account using the following:

azure_storage_account { 'myStorageAccount':
  ensure         => present,
  resource_group => 'testresacc01',
  location       => 'eastus',
  account_type   => 'Standard_GRS',
}

Note: Storage accounts are created with the Azure Resource Manager API only.

Create Azure resource groups

You can create a resource group using the following:

azure_resource_group { 'testresacc01':
  ensure         => present,
  location       => 'eastus',
}

Note: Resource groups are created with Azure Resource Manager API only.

Create Azure template deployment

You can create a resource template deployment using the following:

azure_resource_template { 'My-Network-Security-Group':
  ensure         => 'present',
  resource_group => 'security-testing',
  source         => 'https://gallery.azure.com/artifact/20151001/Microsoft.NetworkSecurityGroup.1.0.0/DeploymentTemplates/NetworkSecurityGroup.json',
  params         => {
    'location'                 => 'eastasia',
    'networkSecurityGroupName' => 'testing',
  },
}

Note: Resource templates are deployed with Azure Resource Manager API only.

Reference

Parameters

Type: azure_vm_classic

ensure

Specifies the basic state of the virtual machine. Valid values are 'present', 'running', stopped', and 'absent'. Defaults to 'present'.

Values have the following effects:

  • 'present': Ensure that the VM exists in either the running or stopped state. If the VM doesn't yet exist, a new one is created.
  • 'running': Ensures that the VM is up and running. If the VM doesn't yet exist, a new one is created.
  • 'stopped': Ensures that the VM is created, but is not running. This can be used to shut down running VMs, as well as for creating VMs without having them running immediately.
  • 'absent': Ensures that the VM doesn't exist on Azure.
name

Required The name of the virtual machine.

image

Name of the image to use to create the virtual machine. This can be either a VM Image or an OS Image. When specifying a VM Image, user, password, and private_key_file are not used.

location

Required The location where the virtual machine will be created. Details of available values can be found on the Azure regions documentation. Location is read-only after the VM has been created.

user

The name of the user to be created on the virtual machine. Required for Linux guests.

password

The password for the above mentioned user on the virtual machine.

private_key_file

Path to the private key file for accessing a Linux guest as the above user.

storage_account

The name of the storage account to create for the virtual machine. Note that if the source image is a 'user' image, the storage account for the user image is used instead of the one provided here. The storage account must be between 3-24 characters, containing only numeric and/or lower case letters.

cloud_service

The name of the associated cloud service.

deployment

The name for the deployment.

size

The size of the virtual machine instance. See the Azure documentation for a full list of sizes.

affinity_group

The affinity group to be used for any created cloud service and storage accounts. Use affinity groups to influence colocation of compute and storage for improved performance.

virtual_network

An existing virtual network to which the virtual machine should be connected.

subnet

An existing subnet in the specified virtual network to which the virtual machine should be associated.

The availability set for the virtual machine. These are used to ensure related machines are not all restarted or paused during routine maintenance.

reserved_ip

The name of the reserved IP to associate with the virtual machine.

data_disk_size_gb

The size of the data disk for this virtual machine, specified in gigabytes. Over the life cycle of a disk, this size can only grow. If this value is not set, Puppet does not touch the data disks for this virtual machine.

purge_disk_on_delete

Whether or not the attached data disk should be deleted when the VM is deleted. Defaults to false.

custom_data

A block of data to be affiliated with a host upon launch. On Linux hosts, this can be a script to be executed on launch by cloud-init. On such Linux hosts, this can either be a single-line command (for example touch /tmp/some-file) which will be run under bash, or a multi-line file (for instance from a template) which can be any format supported by cloud-init.

Windows images (and Linux images without cloud-init) need to provide their own mechanism to execute or act on the provided data.

endpoints

A list of endpoints to associate with the virtual machine. Supply an array of hashes describing the endpoints. Available keys are:

  • name: Required. The name of this endpoint.
  • public_port: Required. The public port to access this endpoint.
  • local_port: Required. The internal port on which the virtual machine is listening.
  • protocol: Required. TCP or UDP.
  • direct_server_return: enable direct server return on the endpoint.
  • load_balancer_name: If the endpoint should be added to a load balancer set, specify a name here. If the set does not exist yet, it is created automatically.
  • load_balancer: A hash of the properties to add this endpoint to a load balancer configuration.
    • port: Required. The internal port on which the virtual machine is listening.
    • protocol: Required. The protocol to use for the availability probe.
    • interval: The interval for the availability probe in seconds.
    • path: a relative path used by the availability probe.

The most often used endpoints are SSH for Linux and WinRM for Windows. Usually they are configured for direct pass-through like this:

endpoints => [{
    name        => 'ssh',
    local_port  => 22,
    public_port => 22,
    protocol    => 'TCP',
  },]

or

endpoints => [{
    name        => 'WinRm-HTTP',
    local_port  => 5985,
    public_port => 5985,
    protocol    => 'TCP',
  },{
    name        => 'PowerShell',
    local_port  => 5986,
    public_port => 5986,
    protocol    => 'TCP',
  },]

Note: If you want to manually configure one of the ssh, WinRm-HTTP, or PowerShell endpoints, take care to use those endpoint names verbatim. This is required to override Azure's defaults without creating a resource conflict.

vhd

Specifies the location of the blob in storage where the vhd file for the disk is located. The storage account where the vhd is located must be associated with the specified subscription.

Example:

http://example.blob.core.windows.net/disks/mydisk.vhd
plan

Deploys the VM from an Azure Software Marketplace product (called a "plan"). Required if no image is specified. The value must be a hash with three required keys: name, product, and publisher. promotion_code is an optional forth key that may be passed.

Example:

plan => {
  'name'      => '2016-1',
  'product'   => 'puppet-enterprise',
  'publisher' => 'puppet',
},
extensions

The extension to configure on the VM. Azure VM Extensions implement behaviors or features that either help other programs work on Azure VMs. You can optionally configure this parameter to include an extension.

This parameter can be either a single hash (single extension) or multiple hashes (multiple extensions). Setting the extension parameter to absent deletes the extension from the VM.

Example:

extensions     => {
  'CustomScriptForLinux' => {
     'auto_upgrade_minor_version' => false,
     'publisher'                  => 'Microsoft.OSTCExtensions',
     'type'                       => 'CustomScriptForLinux',
     'type_handler_version'       => '1.4',
     'settings'                   => {
       'commandToExecute' => 'sh script.sh',
       'fileUris'         => ['https://myAzureStorageAccount.blob.core.windows.net/pathToScript']
     },
   },
},

To install the Puppet agent as an extension on a Windows VM:

extensions     => {
  'PuppetExtension' => {
     'auto_upgrade_minor_version' => true,
     'publisher'                  => 'Puppet',
     'type'                       => 'PuppetAgent',
     'type_handler_version'       => '1.5',
     'protected_settings'                   => {
       'PUPPET_MASTER_SERVER': 'mypuppetmaster.com'
     },
   },
},

Known issues

For the azure module to work, all azure gems must be installed successfully. There is a known issue where these gems fail to install if nokogiri failed to install.

Limitations

Due to a Ruby Azure SDK dependency on the nokogiri gem, running the module on a Windows Agent is supported only with puppet-agent 1.3.0 (a part of Puppet Enterprise 2015.3) and newer. In these versions, the correct version of nokogiri is installed when you run the gem install azure command mentioned in Installing the Azure module.

Development

If you run into an issue with this module, or if you would like to request a feature, please file a ticket.
