SSL cert for apache in Azure linux VM - azure

I have created an Ubuntu VM in Azure and I would like to install an SSL Certificate for that VM. This VM runs a django project on apache. What do I do to install the certificate for this VM??
From what I've seen I would have to create a CNAME from an external domain (for which I have issued the SSL) that maps to the DNS name of this VM.
And then what?? Do I follow the process of installing a Cert for apache? Do I have to do anything in the Windows Azure Management Portal or everything is covered by just adding the files to apache and make the appropriate configs??

There is nothing unique about Windows Azure here; you should follow the standard guides for the Linux platform you are using to configuring Apache or whatever web server you are using.
Most SSL certificate companies provide information on configuring Apache/httpd etc. to do this.
For example, GoDaddy provides this resource: http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/5238/installing-an-ssl-certificate-in-apache

Does an Azure Virtual machine image maintain SSL configuration?

I have a VM (IIS server) using a SSL certificate and also serves as a reverse proxy.
I plan on using the image from the VM to deploy a virtual machine scale set (with all the IIS and SSL config in place), will this work?
Sysprep, the process which generalizes an image to prepare it for use in a VMSS makes private keys inaccessible on clones, effectively removing the certificates. See: https://serverfault.com/questions/755057/is-there-a-way-to-prevent-sysprep-from-destroying-your-iis-installation
To re-inject your certificates into your image after generalization, you can use a tool such as the Custom Script Extension to reinstall the certs. For example: https://medium.com/charot/custom-script-extention-on-azure-vmss-e010a8c87904

Azure VM SSL certificate

I have backend https://x-x-x.com hosted in azure portal recently that https has been expired and my task is to replace it with new certificate which is in pkg format.
Now I have been looking around inside Azure Portal for app service but I can only find Azure Resource group which has Virtual Machine has Linux(ubuntu) server and load balancer. After reading documentation I found out that I can do it by connecting to VM and install SSL there using docker and HA proxy. But I am not sure how to do it and if I am on right track or not?
My concern is what is the best way to do it and is there any resource which I can follow to complete my task and will it replace my backend https://x-x-x.com certificate?

Azure cloud service: Modify the service definition

I have a virtual machine inside cloud service
i need to install ssl certificate on this cloud service
i saw this post about it
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/articles/cloud-services-configure-ssl-certificate-portal/
but how can i make step 2?
i tried the rest of the steps and made them
but i have no idea about step 2, i don't have a web role
i have vm
Copying the answer by #Bruno Faria on Server Fault (https://serverfault.com/questions/722796/install-ssl-certificate-on-azure-cloud-service-vm/722811#722811) as I am not allowed to mark this question is duplicate of the one asked there:
The tutorial you are following is for web/worker roles cloud services
and not Virtual Machines. Although a VM uses the cloud service layer,
it's not the same thing. All you have to do is to install the
certificate as you would in any windows server machine and add the
Host A register to your DNS provider.

Also, make sure to reserve your public in order to keep it in a event
of shutdown or restart of your virtual machines.

Set up SSL on Azure VM (Linux)

I currently have an Azure VM (linux) configuration with a custom domain name. Can someone please provide a tutorial (or explain) how I can go about setting up a SSL certificate?
Tried searching but no luck - appreciate all the help!
As Bruno has mentioned in the comment, certificate needs to be configured on OS level.
Here is a good article about how to create a certificate on Apache.
Azure VM is IaaS. It can not configure the settings on OS directly. That's the reason why we need the Azure VM Agents.

Enable HTTPS for Azure cloud service (Virtual Machine running Linux Server)

I'm trying to enable HTTPS on my Azure cloud service.
It doesn't belong to azurewebsites.
I'm using a self-signed certificate, already generated.
Following this guide I encounter a problem: I'm not able to access to the .csdef file to modify WebRole section to create a proper endpoint as described in the guide.
I would like to know if there's any method to enable HTTPS using self-signed certificates through the Azure Portal.
I tried to open the 443 port naming the endpoint HTTPS, using TCP protocol; unfortunately I notice that modifying the .csdef file instead it's possible to apply the https protocol directly.
Can you help me? I'm kind of stuck at the moment.
The Service configuration file and Service package were placed in storage. With Get Package (REST API) you can retrieve cloud service package that used for deployment before.
Also here is a more detailed article: Download Microsoft Azure Cloud Service Package files, hope it do help.
