+## Launching an Azure cluster
+
+Before launching a cluster, you will need to complete the requirements for
Azure above, clone the Muchos repo, and
+create [muchos.props] by making a copy of existing [muchos.props.example]. If
you want to give others access to your
+cluster, add their public keys to a file named `keys` in your `conf/`
directory. During the setup of your cluster,
+this file will be appended on each node to the `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file
for the user set by the
+`cluster.username` property. You will also need to ensure you have
authenticated to Azure and set the target
+subscription using the [Azure
CLI](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/manage-azure-subscriptions-azure-cli?view=azure-cli-latest).
+
+Muchos by default uses a CentOS 7 image that is hosted in the Azure
marketplace. The Azure Linux Agent is already
+pre-installed on the Azure Marketplace images and is typically available from
the distribution's package repository.
+Azure requires that the publishers of the endorsed Linux distributions
regularly update their images in the Azure
+Marketplace with the latest patches and security fixes, at a quarterly or
faster cadence. Updated images in the Azure
+Marketplace are available automatically to customers as new versions of an
image SKU.
+
+Edit the values in the sections within [muchos.props] as below
+Under the `general` section, edit following values as per your configuration
+* `cluster_type = azure`
+* `cluster_user` should be set to the name of the administrative user
+* `proxy_hostname` (optional) is the name of the machine which has access to
the cluster VNET
+
+Under the `azure` section, edit following values as per your configuration
+* `resource_group` and provide the same created in your Azure subscription for
the cluster deployment
+* `vnet` and provide the same created in your Azure subscription for the
cluster deployment
+* `subnet` and provide the same created in your Azure subscription for the
cluster deployment
+* `numnodes` can be changed as per the cluster size
+* `vm_sku` can be specified from the available skus in the [selected Azure
region](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/cli-ps-findimage)
Review comment:
This is a good catch! That link is wrong. The link should refer to VM sizes,
and not VM images. Currently the only supported image is Centos which as you
mention is hard coded. Will follow up with a different PR that makes this
configurable (similar to the ami config for EC2).
