Prerequisites to Deploying an Azure Instance

You can create some of the objects required during the instance deployment procedure prior to or during that deployment. When created prior to instance deployment, these objects become selectable, typically from drop-down lists in the appropriate deployment dialogs. You may use these objects for a single deployment or for multiple deployments.

Tasks denoted here as ISR instance deployment prerequisites include:
  • You have identified and are deploying to or via the correct Azure:
    • Subscription
    • Region
    • Location
  • You have created the virtual networks you need for ISR (Admin, Local, VoIP, Data) interfaces. Within the context of interface creation, you also need to create:
    • Subnets—To maintain traffic separation, each of the vNICs must be connected to a separate subnet within the virtual network.
    • Security Groups—These define the inbound and outbound traffic allowed through that interface
  • During the instance interface creation procedure, you must have the appropriate image, subnets, and security groups available.

    For more information on creating your network elements, see Azure's online documentation.
