You can manage Microsoft Azure as a
remote cloud.
Microsoft Azure support
consists of:
- A separate set of offerings in the IBM® Cloud
Orchestrator Self-Service Catalog to
manage Microsoft Azure resources.
- A view of the Azure cloud services in RESOURCES,
including actions.
- A view of the Azure deployments in RESOURCES,
including actions.
- A view where you can register and manage Microsoft deployment artifacts.
- A view where you can register and manage Microsoft Azure regions.
A
Microsoft Azure account
with at least one active subscription is required.
IBM Cloud
Orchestrator communicates
to
Microsoft Azure using
the REST API, and so a management certificate is required. For more
information, see
Create and Upload a Management Certificate for Azure.
The subscription must have at least one storage account including
a container that is used to store deployment artifacts.
Note: If you
want to use
Microsoft Azure automation,
you must enable it for all the regions in
Microsoft Azure that
you want to use. For more information, see
Get started with Azure Automation.
You must perform certain configuration tasks before IBM Cloud
Orchestrator can use Microsoft Azure subscriptions
for provisioning.
