anjuna-azure-cli disk create

anjuna-azure-cli disk create --docker-uri <name[:tag]> [OPTIONS...]

Creates an Azure-compatible disk image.

Creating an Azure Confidential VM requires an Azure-compatible disk image. anjuna-azure-cli disk create creates disk images for Azure Confidential VMs from a Docker image.

The Docker image can be specified by:

  • a Docker URI to any Docker registry you have access to (Docker Hub, Azure Container Registry, Artifactory Docker Registry, etc.)

  • a local URI (for example hello-world:latest)

When using a Docker Registry, you must handle the authentication to that registry before invoking the anjuna-azure-cli disk create command.

The only required parameter for the anjuna-azure-cli disk create command is --docker-uri. The other parameters are optional and have default values.

After executing the command, a VHD disk image is created. By default, the name of the file is disk.vhd (if not specified by the --disk command-line option).

The disk creation command currently requires root permissions. This can be achieved by running the anjuna-azure-cli disk create command as root or by running the command with sudo. If the command is not run with root permissions, using sudo will be attempted, which may prompt for your user account password, and requires that your user account have sudo access.
