How to: Deploy JuJu on Windows Azure

There are great guides on how to do this on Canonical’s (http://www.ubuntu.com “Ubuntu (operating system)”) site but there are a few details one must keep in mind while trying to deploy JuJu on Windows Azure:

  1. JuJu on Windows looks broken to me. I downloaded the JuJu client for Windows, followed all the instructions and read them like 5 times… no luck. I ended up with a Crypto/TLS error and gave up. I then tried on an Ubuntu machine and guess what: It worked.
  2. You need to upload the JuJu tools for the bootstrap to work

So here are a few errors you might encounter:

 

ERROR PUT request failed: BadRequest - XML Schema validation error in network configuration at line 75,18. (http code 400: Bad Request)

ERROR PUT request failed: BadRequest - XML Schema validation error in network configuration at line 46,18. (http code 400: Bad Request) To resolve this is quite simple: You need to deploy the JuJu tools. When you run the bootstrap add the —upload-tools switch to do so. I read you might need to delete the azure environment file at: .juju/environments/azure.jenv too.

I was unable to get this to work so I opted for using an Ubuntu VM. Remember you are going to have to upload the management certificate so make sure the VM you use can access a shared file store or open firefox so you can upload it.
