automate my linux servers

[Stefan Kießig]

Hello,

I would like to automate my servers (install and update software). They are Linux servers.
Using the custom script extension I can run a shell script after deployment. How can I customize the shell script after it has already been run once.

Can I do this (automate my servers (install and update software)) with Azure board tools (similar to Ansilbe).

Thanks for your support
Stefan

I would look at Desired State Configuration:

An example is, you want to install Apache or make a configuration change, you can use Azure Automation and DSC to customise your workloads as you want (ie install apache, or edit a config file) and it will make the changes if it is not compliant.
