Deploying the Azure Instance

This is the main instance configuration procedure. It includes a multi-dialog wizard that presents configuration options in the preferred sequence. The result of this wizard is an installed Oracle Linux image on instance. You can add interfaces after deployment.

The following are important requirements:

Management subnets must be public to allow access from outside the cloud. Addressing within these subnets should include Public IP addresses.
All Media interfaces addresses that must be reachable through the internet must reside on public subnets; all others can reside on private subnets.

The Oracle Communications Interactive Session Recorder (ISR) is comprised of four components, the Index, RSS, Dashboard, and FACE. The Azure instance configuration procedure's multi-dialog wizard presents configuration options in the preferred sequence.

Basics

The Azure instance deployment allows you to configure a VM instance using the Basics configuration.

Create a VM by associating it to a Resource group and choosing the right Size.
Enter details for the Administrator account: Username with Authentication Type (either Password or SSH public key). For more information, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/mac-create-ssh-keys.
Configure the Inbound port rules to allow SSH.

Disks

The Azure instance deployment allows you to configure disk size using the Disk configuration.

Select the OS disk type based on the VM size.
Set OS disk type to Standard HDD.
Despite the initial boot disk size provided by Oracle, you are free to create a boot disk that is a different size, as supported by Azure. Specifically, consider whether you need a disk that is larger than the initial size to allow for storing log files and other data. When creating disks, refer to both Azure and this Installation Guide's instructions and guidelines on creating, formatting and mounting your disks.

Networking

The Azure instance deployment allows you to configure networking using the Networking configuration.

Choose the appropriate Virtual network and its Subnet that this VM should use.
Select the right NIC network security group for this VM (if NSG has been created).

Management

The Azure instance deployment allows you to configure Management using the Management configuration.

Set Boot diagnostics to On.
Set OS diagnostics to On.
Set Diagnostics storage account to your account.
Leave all other fields set to Off.

Guest Config

You do not need to configure anything on the Guest Config dialog.
