ASAv in Azure doesn't have ASDM

[Matt Hanley]

I deployed an ASAv in Azure to start vetting it as a solution for the edge of out cloud deployment.  According to every doc I can find on it, the ASDM should be installed and working.  However, I've turned it on in he config and when that didn't work, I went looking for the file and I don't see it anywhere on the device.  Since this is in Azure it's going to be difficult to pull the image off a TFTP server.  Is there some other way to get the .bin file up there?

Also...

Why isn't this on the on he Azure image by default the like all the documentation says?

It would be too easy if it was turned on by default!

Hello Matt,
This is Anubhav and I work as a TME for virtual ASAv, we have bundled this ASDM as rest API image with ASAv built for Azure. It is not seen in "show flash" because it is not copied to flash. You just need to perform the following steps to access ASDM.
○ Enable ASDM
§ Http server enable
§ Http 0 0 management (or replace 0 0 with your management host)
○ Allow port tcp 443 in NSG on eth0 (nic0) interface (it is not allowed by default).
- Once you have above config in place ASDM should be accessible.

- ASDM is bundled with ASAv image in Azure.
- I deployed new ASAv in Azure and ran "show version" and found that ASDM image is detected.
