Verify Microsoft Azure products

Verify that you have the necessary Microsoft Azure products to create an

advanced cluster

in an Azure environment.

You must have the following products on your Azure account:

Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2: Staging data and log files for an
advanced cluster
and jobs are stored on the Azure cloud.
Linux Virtual Machines: A Linux virtual machine hosts the Secure Agent.
Virtual Network (VNet): An
advanced cluster
is created in a VNet. You can specify an existing VNet, or the Secure Agent can create a VNet based on the region that you provide.
Key Vault: If you create a service principal to perform cluster operations, a key vault stores the service principal credentials. The Secure Agent accesses the key vault to retrieve the credentials.
Load Balancer: A load balancer accepts incoming jobs from a Secure Agent and provides an entry point for the jobs to an
advanced cluster
.
