Can anyone give me suggestions on how to achieve this? I’m hoping to run it on BPI or T-Firefly… Thanks! ---

I’ve just updated the docs on how to run RancherOS on ARM using the Azure portal. We’re still testing out how to get it to run through the Azure CLI. [http://docs.rancher.com/os/running-rancheros/cloud/azure/](http://docs.rancher.com/os/running-rancheros/cloud/azure/) As of this time, we only have v0.3.1 as an image in ARM and it doesn’t support a cloud config file. We are looking to release a v0.3.4 in the next week that would allow cloud config files to be passed to the image using the `--custom-data` flag. ---

coooooooooool! How did you build it? Any instructions would be amazing. _is really excited_ :)! -Jake > [@denise](#): > > [http://docs.rancher.com/os/running-rancheros/cloud/azure/](http://docs.rancher.com/os/running-rancheros/cloud/azure/) Also I should mention: I’ll not be using someone else’s cloud (azure lets you use ARM?!) but instead I’ll be building my own, super-cheap cloud and then scaling the thing globally. (Not Azure Resource Management) instead, ARM as in Acorn Risc Machine ---

Jake, Azure doesn’t employ servers with ARM processors (as far as I know). They do have their own terminology: ASM (Azure Service Management, the older API and the default in Azure CLI) vs ARM (Azure Resource Management, the newer API that looks to become their primary API in a while). I’m building RancherOS VM images for Azure. My (somewhat messy) scripts are here: [https://github.com/imikushin/os-azure](https://github.com/imikushin/os-azure) ; Ivan ---

Yes there was clearly an acronym misunderstanding here… We have a stack of Raspberry Pi 2Bs, a MinnowBoard Max, and some other toys lying around but haven’t had time to play with them yet. Maybe we should just mail them to you @imikushin 🙂 ---

@Jacob_Gadikian Sorry about that. I was writing up about Azure Resource Management (ARM), which is why the acronym was in my head. 🙂 ---

I’d like to do the same thing too. Any update to your progress? Would you mind to share your workout? ---

It didn’t end up being my solution, but… > It seems to me like the team is very close.
