editThese steps guide you through creating three Ubuntu 16.04 LTS virtual machines on the Standard DS11 V2 instance types with 16 GB RAM.
-
Create your first virtual machine. This is the first machine that you install Elastic Cloud Enterprise on and it includes a 128 GB attached data disk. This command sets a status public IP address and generates your SSH keys.
az vm create --resource-group <resourcename> --name ece-node-01 --image Canonical:ubuntuserver:16.04.0-LTS:latest --size Standard_D11_v2 --data-disk-sizes-gb 128 --public-ip-address-allocation static --vnet-name <vnetname> --subnet default --nsg <securityname> --generate-ssh-keys
If you are using machines without permanent storage, back up your keys to a safe location.
- Create two more virtual machines with unique node names.
- Complete the other environment preparations for each virtual machine.
Next steps: When your Microsoft Azure virtual machines are up and running, you can connect to them and install Elastic Cloud Enterprise for simple installs or review the playbook for production.
