Advanced Linux Template : Deploy a Multi VM MapR Cluster

ALPHA RELEASE

This advanced template creates a Multi VM MapR Cluster, complete with MapR Community Edition licensing. Users can select which instance types to use; storage for each node is currently defined in the template itself (4 1TB volumes per node).

The Control System interface to the cluster will be available at https://[cluster_node_0]:8443

Command Line Usage

The template deployment is supported via the Azure Command Line utility (available from http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/xplat-cli/#configure ).

After installing that utility and authenticating to the Azure environment, you can take the following steps to deploy a cluster from the command line :

1. Clone the default parameters file (azuredeploy-parameters.json)
2. Update the new parameter file, ap.json, with your desired settings for clusterName and adminPassword
3. Launch a resource group and deploy the MapR software

   azure group create "newgroup" "West US" -f azuredeploy.json -d MapRtest -e ap.json
