I don’t think I’ve ever said anything good about Azure, but I’ve finally ran into one today. Someone screwed up sshd_config and the service would not start anymore. With the run script tool, I was able to revert the config to the original version and restart the service. Fortunately, the changes were checked into RCS, which made recovery relatively easy.
Here, I checked out the original version of the config file, overwrite the existing file quietly. Then restart sshd

In other cloud environments, I’d have to mount the OS disk on another machine and edit the file. Or do it through console, which only a few providers offer “writable” console.
