The cli json output only indicates when the provisioningState: "Succeeded" however there is no indication in the json or through "az vm list" when the instance is actually reachable (via ssh or RDP).

This is particularly important when you created an automation workflow dependent on when the instance is reachable. The reach-ability is quite variable dependent on whether it is a GPU instance (NC or NV) or one of the compute (F -series) instances.

Linux SCSI target IDs change across reboots resulting in some really strange ordering of sda, sdb, sdc etc. Sometimes the ephemeral disk ends up on the end of the list, sometimes the data disk(s) go to the front. It's near impossible to import workloads into Azure with this device inconsistency.

We want to configure Oracle EBS 12.2 Vision Single node in Azure.What is the process.Is there any direct Images available in Azure to configure same.Thanks.

[Issue Description]
Create CentOS 7 VM from customized image but got the error "Failed to get dvd device"

https://github.com/Azure/azure-linux-extensions/issues/282

After re-install waagent on the custimized image, the issue still persist, though the issue didn't occur on the image from Azure gallery

[Target]
Please help improve the customized image support and if any automation tool provided is great.

Currently, you need to type in all the server details before you are able to select basic features of your machine (i.e. you need to type in a username, password/key, resource group) before you can select machine type.

You should be able to see whether you are able to create the VM you need before having to do all that housekeeping, especially if you need to check across regions or subscriptions.

Please add a waagent setting to allow swap size on resource disk to be specified as percentage - either percentage of resource disk size or percentage of total physical memory .

Reason: It would enable a single custom image with swap settings specified that can be used on multiple VM sizes.

SMB shares larger than 5TB

We need 18TB for application backups so I susspect that 25TB shares would be a starting point

Want to test and use neural network libraries like tensor flow on GPU linux machines. AWS has a couple of GPU options and also VMs in market place with Tensor flow installed. Please allow me to do the same.

We didn't find the assignment list of device path for data disks.
We want to check this data more easily. For example, we can find the assignment list in the management portal.

disk name A - \sdc\
disk name B - \sdd\ etc...

Most of our admins are accustomed to the old portal and force move to the new portal which looks completely different and definitely has a learning curve will severely affect our business.

increase capacity linux system disk in VM DS to 127 GB storage premium as the VM Windows.
As it charges a P10 if the disc is 30GB

Hi team,

At present, Azure does not support RHEL even though it supports other variants of Linux like CentOS. Please incorporate support for RHEL in Azure as it's one of the common Linux platform used across the globe.

Please engage Microsoft support engineer when supporting CentOS

I filed SR tickets to OpenLogic regarding CentOS kernel, but still no response.
I request Microsoft Azure Support Team to support and investigate Cent OS itself.
If there is kernel bug in CentOS, I hope Microsoft Azure Engineers contact OpenLogic directly as official communication path.

-Japanese version-
マイクロソフトでCentOSサポート対応してほしい

CentOSはOpenLogicのサポートということになっているが、サポートの対応が悪く、返信も来ない。
マイクロソフトのAzureサポートチームにてCentOSのサポートを行うようにしてほしい。
Kernelの不具合についても、正式にマイクロソフトからOpenLogicに調査・修正依頼を出すような体制を整えてほしい。

Adding your azureaccount existing Hyper-V Server´s and migrated optional vm to the azure or just replicate any VM to azureaccount.

I tried to create a VM using Azure ARM power-shell, where i could not able fetch the reference of the Custom Image created in Old Portal.
However, there is a known bug exists at New Portal that you cannot create a VM from custom in New Portal

When i issue Halt on an Ubuntu vm the machine turns off and does not work but the portal still shows it as running ? Is this the expected behavior even if the vm is non operational.

Descriptions of gallery images are provided ONLY in English. Some of them include very important information for Azure users. ( ex. NOTE in the description for CentOS 6.6 image)

Please translate descriptions so that every user can read them more easily.
