Open questions

Section titled “Open questions”

When this gets verified:

  • Does the default Azure marketplace Ubuntu image inject SSH keys to root, or is there a forced-command pattern like the AWS Ubuntu AMI?
  • Do we need to ensure the network security group lets in SSH/22?
  • Is the default OS disk size sufficient (Azure’s tends to be 30GB which is borderline)?
