azure-pipelines-test-vm
Virtual machine image builder for running ansible-test on Azure Pipelines.
Updating, Building and Deploying a Virtual Machine Image
The following instructions will use the Ubuntu-18.04-Minimal-30GB profile and the AgentPool-Standard_F2s_v2-EastUS2 scale set in the AzurePipelines resource group as examples.
Substitute the desired values as needed.
NOTE: These instructions assume the profile and scale set already exist. Additional steps are required if one or both must be created.
Update the Configuration
Make changes to the lookup_plugins/annotated_pull_commands.py plugin or the profile configuration in the image/configurations/Ubuntu-18.04-Minimal-30GB.yml file.
IMPORTANT: Do not edit the files in the
image/templates/directory.
Update the Template
Update the profile template with the command:
ansible-playbook create-template.yml -i inventory.yml -e profile=Ubuntu-18.04-Minimal-30GB
Commit the Changes
Commit the changes made manually during the first step and automatically during the second step.
Build the Image
Build the image defined by the template with the command:
ansible-playbook create-image.yml -i inventory.yml -e profile=Ubuntu-18.04-Minimal-30GB
NOTE: This step is expected to run for more than an hour. Come back and check on it later.
Deploy the Image
Retrieve the list of image versions with the command:
ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml list-image-versions.yml -e profile=Ubuntu-18.04-Minimal-30GB
Once the image has been built, it can be deployed to a scale set with the command:
ansible-playbook update-scaleset.yml -i inventory.yml -e profile=Ubuntu-18.04-Minimal-30GB -e scaleset_resource_group=AzurePipelines -e scaleset=AgentPool-Standard_F2s_v2-EastUS2 -e image_version=0.24528.6373
NOTE: The
image_versionused in the above command was retrieved from the list returned by the previous command.
