The Nautilus DevOps team is strategizing the migration of a portion of their infrastructure to the Azure cloud. Recognizing the scale of this undertaking, they have opted to approach the migration in incremental steps rather than as a single massive transition. To achieve this, they have segmented large tasks into smaller, more manageable units. This granular approach enables the team to execute the migration in gradual phases, ensuring smoother implementation and minimizing disruption to ongoing operations. By breaking down the migration into smaller tasks, the Nautilus DevOps team can systematically progress through each stage, allowing for better control, risk mitigation, and optimization of resources throughout the migration process.
1. Create SSH Key Pair for Azure Virtual Machine
For this task, create an SSH key pair with the following requirements:
- The name of the SSH key pair should be
xfusion-kp. - The key pair
type must be rsa. ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f ~/.ssh/xfusion-kp
2. Create an Azure Virtual Machine
The Nautilus DevOps team is planning to migrate a portion of their infrastructure to the Azure cloud incrementally. As part of this migration, you are tasked with creating an Azure Virtual Machine (VM). The requirements are:
- Use the existing resource group.
az group list - The VM name must be
devops-vm, it should be in West US region. - Use the
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS image for the VM. - The VM size must be
Standard_B1s. - Attach a default Network Security Group (NSG) that allows inbound SSH (port 22).
- Attach a 30 GB storage disk of type
Standard HDD. - The rest of the configurations should remain as default.
- After completing these steps, make sure you can SSH into the virtual machine.
az vm create \
--resource-group <RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME> \
--name devops-vm \
--image Ubuntu2204 \
--size Standard_B1s \
--admin-username <username> \
--admin-password <password> \
--location westus \
--authentication-type password \
--os-disk-size-gb 30 \
--storage-sku StandardHDD_LRS \
--nsg-rule SSH
3. Create a Virtual Network (VNet) in Azure
Create a Virtual Network (VNet) named datacenter-vnet in the East US region with any IPv4 CIDR block.
az network vnet create \
--name datacenter-vnet \
--resource-group <RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME> \
--location eastus \
--address-prefix 10.1.0.0/16 \
--subnet-name default \
--subnet-prefix 10.1.0.0/24
4. Create a Virtual Network (IPv4) in Azure
Create a Virtual Network (VNet) named datacenter-vnet in the East US region with 192.168.0.0/24 IPv4 CIDR.
az network vnet create \
--name datacenter-vnet \
--resource-group <RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME> \
--location eastus \
--address-prefix 192.168.0.0/24 \
--subnet-name default \
--subnet-prefix 192.168.0.0/25
5. Create a Virtual Network (IPv6) in Azure
Your Azure subscription must have IPv6 support enabled, and the IPv6 address space must be assigned or allowed. Azure typically only allows manually specified IPv6 prefixes if:
- You have BYOIP (Bring Your Own IP)
- Or you’ve configured an IPv6 range via Microsoft
- Otherwise, attempting to use a manual IPv6 prefix will fail.
az network vnet create \
--name nautilus-vnet \
--resource-group <RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME> \
--location eastus \
--address-prefixes 192.168.10.0/24 2600:abcd:1234::/48 \
--subnet-name default \
--subnet-prefixes 192.168.10.0/25 2600:abcd:1234::/64 \
--stack DualStack
