Onboarding Azure Arc on Linux (Ubuntu)

This article has not been completed yet. However, it may already contain helpful Information and therefore it has been published at this stage.

Prerequisites:

root access permissions (on the Linux Maschine)
Owner - / Contributer - or Azure Connected Machine Onboarding role

If you want to perform the installation on a larger scale, i.e. on multiple machines, then it is recommended to set up a service principal account, which then only gets the Azure Connected Machine Onboarding role.

I have already published a blog post about this (see link).

Deployment:

# Download the installation package.
wget https://aka.ms/azcmagent -O ~/Install_linux_azcmagent.sh

# Install the Azure Connected Machine agent.
bash ~/Install_linux_azcmagent.sh

azcmagent connect --resource-group "resourceGroupName" --tenant-id "tenantID" --location "regionName" --subscription-id "subscriptionID" --cloud "cloudName"
