Create Azure Linux VM with Private IP Only using Cloudbreak

Prior to Version 1.6.2-rc.8 version of Cloudbreak, provisioning of HDP Clusters on Azure was by Public IP only.

This article describes provisioning of a cluster based on Private IP.

While creating a Network within Cloudbreak, there are options to

1. Create a New Network and a new subnet

2. Use an existing subnet in an existing virtual network

Under the Option 2 "Use an existing subnet in an existing virtual network" There are 2 options added ,

a) Don't create public IPs

b) Don't create new firewall rules

Upon selecting these options ( and using Private IP "export PUBLIC_IP=xx.xx.xx.xx" in the Profile file for Cloudbreak, ), Cloudbreak can install clusters using Private IP only in Azure cloud.
