Azure VM¶

Provisions an Azure virtual machine with the Datadog Agent installed. Use this to test agent behavior on Azure infrastructure or Windows Server environments.

Prerequisites¶

Azure support must be enabled during setup:

dda inv e2e.setup --with-azure

This adds an azure.publicKeyPath entry to ~/.test_infra_config.yaml, which is required for all Azure VM tasks.

Create¶

dda inv az.create-vm

Key options¶

Flag	Default	Description
`--stack-name`	`az-vm`	Suffix for the Pulumi stack name
`--os-family`	`windows`	OS: `windows` or `ubuntu`
`--os-version`	latest	OS version for the chosen family
`--architecture`	`x86_64`	CPU architecture: `x86_64` or `arm64`
`--instance-type`	`Standard_B4ms`	Azure VM size
`--pipeline-id`	—	Deploy the agent build from a specific GitLab pipeline
`--agent-version`	latest	Pin an agent version (e.g. `7.58.0-1`)
`--agent-config-path`	—	Path to a local `datadog.yaml` to merge with defaults
`--agent-flavor`	—	Agent flavor (e.g. `datadog-fips-agent`)
`--install-agent`	`true`	Set to `false` to provision a raw VM without the agent

Examples¶

# Ubuntu VM on Azure
dda inv az.create-vm --os-family=ubuntu

# Windows VM with a specific agent version
dda inv az.create-vm --os-family=windows --agent-version=7.58.0-1

Connect¶

SSH connection details are printed after creation (Linux). For Windows, the task outputs RDP connection information.

Destroy¶

dda inv az.destroy-vm

Limitations¶

Only windows and ubuntu OS families are supported.
FakeIntake is not supported for Azure VMs.
