 # VMAccess Extension for Linux
 
+> [!CAUTION]
+> This article references CentOS, a Linux distribution that is nearing End Of Life (EOL) status. Please consider your use and planning accordingly.

 The VMAccess Extension is used to manage administrative users, configure SSH, and check or repair disks on Azure Linux virtual machines. The extension integrates with Azure Resource Manager templates. It can also be invoked using Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, the Azure portal, and the Azure Virtual Machines REST API.
 
 This article describes how to run the VMAccess Extension from the Azure CLI and through an Azure Resource Manager template. This article also provides troubleshooting steps for Linux systems.

 # Use cloud-init to configure a swap partition on a Linux VM

 This article shows you how to use [cloud-init](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io) to configure the swap partition on various Linux distributions. The swap partition was traditionally configured by the Linux Agent (WALA) based on which distributions required one.  This document outlines the process for building the swap partition on demand during provisioning time using cloud-init.  For more information about how cloud-init works natively in Azure and the supported Linux distros, see [cloud-init overview](using-cloud-init.md)

 This article shows you how to use [cloud-init](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io) to update packages on a Linux virtual machine (VM) or virtual machine scale sets at provisioning time in Azure. These cloud-init scripts run on first boot once the resources have been provisioned by Azure.

 Learn how to set up an OpenFrame environment on Azure suitable for development, demos, testing, or production workloads. This tutorial walks you through each step.
 
 OpenFrame includes multiple components that create the mainframe emulation environment on Azure. For example, OpenFrame online services replace the mainframe middleware such as IBM Customer Information Control System (CICS), and OpenFrame Batch, with its TJES component, replaces the IBM mainframe's Job Entry Subsystem (JES).

 Database backups help protect the database against data loss that's due to storage component failure and datacenter failure. They can also be a means of recovery from human error and a way to clone a database for development or testing purposes.
