Microsoft Edge For Ubuntu



Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on Windows allows you to use Ubuntu Terminal and run Ubuntu command line utilities including bash, ssh, git, apt and many more. Please note that Windows 10 S does not support running this app. To launch, use 'ubuntu2004' on the command-line prompt (cmd.exe), or click on the Ubuntu tile in the Start Menu. Microsoft Edge is based on the open source Chromium. This should come as no surprise, given the number of browsers that have been based on Chromium over the years (such as Amazon Silk, Brave.

This article describes the important system requirements for your Microsoft Azure Stack Edge Pro solution and for the clients connecting to Azure Stack Edge Pro. We recommend that you review the information carefully before you deploy your Azure Stack Edge Pro. You can refer back to this information as necessary during the deployment and subsequent operation.

The system requirements for the Azure Stack Edge Pro include:

  • Software requirements for hosts - describes the supported platforms, browsers for the local configuration UI, SMB clients, and any additional requirements for the clients that access the device.
  • Networking requirements for the device - provides information about any networking requirements for the operation of the physical device.

Networking port requirements

Port requirements for Azure Stack Edge Pro

The following table lists the ports that need to be opened in your firewall to allow for SMB, cloud, or management traffic. In this table, in or inbound refers to the direction from which incoming client requests access to your device. Out or outbound refers to the direction in which your Azure Stack Edge Pro device sends data externally, beyond the deployment, for example, outbound to the internet.

See notes
This port is required only if you are connecting via NFS.

Port requirements for IoT Edge

Azure IoT Edge allows outbound communication from an on-premises Edge device to Azure cloud using supported IoT Hub protocols. Inbound communication is only required for specific scenarios where Azure IoT Hub needs to push down messages to the Azure IoT Edge device (for example, Cloud To Device messaging).

Use the following table for port configuration for the servers hosting Azure IoT Edge runtime:

Port no.In or outPort scopeRequiredGuidance
TCP 443 (HTTPS)OutWANYesOutbound open for IoT Edge provisioning. This configuration is required when using manual scripts or Azure IoT Device Provisioning Service (DPS).

For complete information, go to Firewall and port configuration rules for IoT Edge deployment.

URL patterns for firewall rules

Network administrators can often configure advanced firewall rules based on the URL patterns to filter the inbound and the outbound traffic. Your Azure Stack Edge Pro device and the service depend on other Microsoft applications such as Azure Service Bus, Azure Active Directory Access Control, storage accounts, and Microsoft Update servers. The URL patterns associated with these applications can be used to configure firewall rules. It is important to understand that the URL patterns associated with these applications can change. These changes require the network administrator to monitor and update firewall rules for your Azure Stack Edge Pro as and when needed.

We recommend that you set your firewall rules for outbound traffic, based on Azure Stack Edge Pro fixed IP addresses, liberally in most cases. However, you can use the information below to set advanced firewall rules that are needed to create secure environments.

Note

  • The device (source) IPs should always be set to all the cloud-enabled network interfaces.
  • The destination IPs should be set to Azure datacenter IP ranges.

Internet bandwidth

The devices are designed to continue to operate when your internet connection is slow or gets interrupted. In normal operating conditions, we recommend that you use:

  • A minimum of 10-Mbps download bandwidth to ensure the device stays updated.
  • A minimum of 20-Mbps dedicated upload and download bandwidth to transfer files.

Compute sizing considerations

Use your experience while developing and testing your solution to ensure there is enough capacity on your Azure Stack Edge Pro device and you get the optimal performance from your device.

Factors you should consider include:

  • Container specifics - Think about the following.

    • How many containers are in your workload? You could have a lot of lightweight containers versus a few resource-intensive ones.
    • What are the resources allocated to these containers versus what are the resources they are consuming?
    • How many layers do your containers share?
    • Are there unused containers? A stopped container still takes up disk space.
    • In which language are your containers written?
  • Size of the data processed - How much data will your containers be processing? Will this data consume disk space or the data will be processed in the memory?

  • Expected performance - What are the desired performance characteristics of your solution?

To understand and refine the performance of your solution, you could use:

  • The compute metrics available in the Azure portal. Go to your Azure Stack Edge resource and then go to Monitoring > Metrics. Look at the Edge compute - Memory usage and Edge compute - Percentage CPU to understand the available resources and how are the resources getting consumed.

  • The monitoring commands available via the PowerShell interface of the device such as:

    • dkr stats to get a live stream of container(s) resource usage statistics. The command supports CPU, memory usage, memory limit, and network IO metrics.
    • dkr system df to get information regarding the amount of disk space used.
    • dkr image [prune] to clean up unused images and free up space.
    • dkr ps --size to view the approximate size of a running container.

    For more information on the available commands, go to Monitor and troubleshoot compute modules.

Finally, make sure that you validate your solution on your dataset and quantify the performance on Azure Stack Edge Pro before deploying in production.
