coreysa | Deploy Ubuntu Azure Dev VM | This template deploys an Ubuntu VM with the Azure Dev tools installed, which includes node. This executes a bash script pulled from GitHub. |
One interesting aspect of this specific template is that it deploys a Linux custom script, which is a simple bash script that runs under the root context. This script is pulled directly from the release location from GitHub, enabling easier maintenance.
This custom script could also take in parameters as part of creation of the template.
Looking for the logs for your script, try here: /var/log/azure/Microsoft.OSTCExtensions.CustomScriptForLinux/1.2.1.0/extension.log.
