7## Usage
8
9This is meant to be an example image that you can copy into your own
10project and modify to your own needs. Notice that the example image
11includes a built-in test user account, which by default uses your
12`~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub` as an `authorized_key`.
13
14Build and upload the image
15```shell
16$ ./upload-image.sh ./examples/basic/image.nix
17
18...
19+ attr=azbasic
20+ nix-build ./examples/basic/image.nix --out-link azure

26```
27
28Take the output, boot an Azure VM:
29
30```
31img="/subscriptions/.../..." # use output from last command
32./boot-vm.sh "${img}"
33...
34=> booted
35```

37## Future Work
38
391. If the user specifies a hard-coded user, then the agent could be removed.
40 Probably has security benefits; definitely has closure-size benefits.
41 (It's likely the VM will need to be booted with a special flag. See:
42 https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/12775 for details.)
