背景と目的

Ubuntu Pro が Personal Use で 5 台まで無料で使えるようになりました。バージョンアップせずに延命できる選択肢として、Azure で使っている Ubuntu 18.04 LTS を Personal Use で Pro にして 2023 年の EOL を 2028 年まで延ばす検証をしてみました。

検証用の仮想マシンを作成

bash

# 環境変数をセットします
region=japaneast
prefix=mnrubpro

# リソースグループを作成します
az group create \
  --name ${prefix}-rg \
  --location $region

# 仮想マシンを作成します
az vm create \
  --resource-group ${prefix}-rg \
  --name ${prefix}-vm \
  --os-disk-name ${prefix}-vmOSDisk \
  --image Canonical:UbuntuServer:18.04-LTS:latest \
  --size Standard_B1s \
  --admin-username azureuser \
  --generate-ssh-keys \
  --nsg-rule NONE \
  --public-ip-address-dns-name ${prefix}

# 自分の IP から SSH 接続できるようにします
az network nsg rule create \
  --resource-group ${prefix}-rg \
  --name Allow-SSH \
  --nsg-name ${prefix}-vmNSG \
  --priority 100 \
  --source-address-prefixes $(curl -s inet-ip.info) \
  --destination-port-ranges 22 \
  --access Allow \
  --protocol Tcp

# SSH 接続します
ssh azureuser@${prefix}.$region.cloudapp.azure.com

Ubuntu Pro に移行
