As of February 1, 2019 Armor no longer supports Ubuntu 12.X. Also as of February 1, 2019 Ubuntu 12.X will no longer be compatible with Trend Micro. As a result, Armor no longer offers Ubuntu 12.X in the Armor Marketplace. Armor strongly recommends that you create a new virtual machine to replace your existing Ubuntu 12 virtual machine. At a high-level, you must: - Step 1: Create a new virtual machine
- Step 2: Migrate infrastructure
- Step 3: Delete the old virtual machine
|
Step 1: Create a new Ubuntu virtual machine
There are two options: - Create a new virtual machine in a new workload
- Create a new virtual machine in an existing workload
Option 1: Create a new virtual machine in a new workload - In the Armor Management Portal, in the left-side navigation, click Infrastructure.
- Click Virtual Machines.
- Hover over the plus ( + ) icon, and then click the Virtual Machine icon.
- If you do not have any virtual machines listed, then clickDeployNew, and then selectVirtual Machine.
- Locate and select the desired operating system and operating system version.
- On the right side, use the Region drop-down menu to select the data center to host your virtual machine.
- Select the desired virtual machine based on your CPU and memory needs (GB).
- You can click High CPU or High Memory to filter the list of virtual machines. You can also click Show AllOptions to see every virtual machine offering.
- Armor labels virtual machines by CPU and memory features. For instance, 2x4 indicates that the virtual machine has 2 CPU and 4 GB of memory.
- In Name, enter a descriptive name for your virtual machine.
- In Workload, select New Workload.
- In New Workload Name, enter a descriptive name.
- In New Tier Name, enter a descriptive name.
- In Location, select and verify the data center to host your virtual machine.
- Under Access Credentials, note your username to access the virtual machine.
- In Password, enter a secure password to use to access the virtual machine.
- Your password must contain:
- An upper-case letter
- A lower-case letter
- A number
- A special character: ! @ # $ % ^ * ( ) { } [ ]
- You can also click Generate Password to allow Armor to create a password.
- (Optional) For additional storage, under Storage Substrate and Disk Size, select your desired storage, and then click Add Disk.
- On the right-side menu, review the pricing information, and then click Purchase.
- To view the status of your newly created virtual machine, in the left-side navigation, click Infrastructure, click Virtual Machines, and then search for your newly created virtual machine.
Note |

After you create a virtual machine, Armor recommends that you: - Create a firewall rule
- By default, outbound and inbound traffic are blocked from virtual machines. To allow traffic, you must create a firewall rule. To learn more, see Firewall Rules.
- Download the SSL/VPN client.
- To access the virtual machine, you must download the SSL/VPN client. To learn more, see SSL VPN - decomission.
|
Option 2: Create a new virtual machine in an existing workload Note |
---|
If you create a virtual machine with an existing workload, then your Location and Virtual Data Center will be automatically selected. |
- In the Armor Management Portal, in the left-side navigation, click Infrastructure.
- Click Virtual Machines.
- Hover over the plus ( + ) icon, and then click the virtual machine icon.
- Locate and select the desired operating system and operating system version.

- In Name, enter a descriptive name for your virtual machine.
- In Workload, select an existing workload.
- In In Workload Tier, select an existing tier.
- To create and use a new tier, select New Tier, and then in New Tier Name, enter a descriptive name.
- Under Access Credentials, note your username to access the virtual machine.
- In Password, enter a secure password to use to access the virtual machine.
- Your password must contain:
- An upper-case letter
- A lower-case letter
- A number
- A special character: ! @ # $ % ^ * ( ) { } [ ]

Step 2: Migrate infrastructure to the newly created virtual machine
Step 3: Delete the old Ubuntu virtual machine
There are two ways to delete a virtual machine. You can delete a virtual machine now or at the end of your billing cycle. Note |
---|
You can only delete virtual machines that are offline (Power Off). |
Note |
---|
If you delete a virtual machine before the end of the billing cycle, you will still be charged for the full amount; however, in the next invoice, you will receive a credit to offset the cost. Additionally, any add-on products or add-on subscriptions associated with the deleted virtual machine must be canceled separately. |
- In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), in the left-side navigation, click Infrastructure.
- Click Virtual Machines.
- Locate and hover over the desired virtual machine.
- Click the vertical ellipses.
- Click PowerOff.
- Click PowerOff again.
- Hover over the virtual machine, and then click the vertical ellipses.
