So I ended up on this page and found the conclusion is azure cloud-init doesn't support adding a swap through configuration, is that true?
Furthermore why isn't there a canonical doc or blog post that explain the correct way to add swap for Ubuntu VM on Azure? I have seen examples that modify /etc/fstab, and examples that modify /etc/waagent.conf, as well as trying to use CustomData. I have read both: - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AzureSwapPartitions - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-linux-agent-user-guide/ Yet I am still not sure how could I edit my configuration to create a swap through cloud-init on next boot. If this is fixed and released, then please help point me and whoever comes next to the right doc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1374166 Title: Document how to add swap space on Azure resource disk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1374166/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
