Select your Microsoft Azure subscription. The subscription must include permissions to deploy the following resources:

Network security group
Virtual network (including subnet)
Network interface
Public IP address
OS disk
Virtual machine

Be sure to grant permission to the Hyperscalar Azure Integration App when prompted.

A resource group is a container that holds related resources for your runtime environment.

Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services

uses one resource group for each Secure Agent to simplify management of the VM resources for that agent.

You typically create new resource groups, but you can use any existing group that is empty.

Name of the resource group. Enter the name of a new group or select an existing group.

Ensure that any existing resource group is empty, otherwise this message appears

: "API Input validation failed."

Select the region to deploy the Secure Agent. Choose the Azure region that's appropriate for your organization and your customers. Not every resource is available in every region.

Enter a name for the virtual machine (VM) that will be created.

Enter your name as the virtual machine user.

Enter a password to access the virtual machine.

Enter a name for your Secure Agent. By default, the runtime environment has the same name as the agent.

Select a size for your virtual machine. If you are unfamiliar with Azure image sizing, start with a size with at least 4 cores and 16 GB of memory.

Note that your Azure hourly charges are affected by the VM size.

Select an existing virtual network based on your Microsoft Azure subscription and location or create a new virtual network.

Select an existing virtual network or enter the name for a new virtual network.

When you select an existing virtual network, this associates the newly created VM with the existing VNet.

Select an existing virtual network address or enter a new address.

Select the subnet to use or enter a name for a new subnet.

The subnet holds all the Azure resources that are deployed to the virtual network.

Select the subnet address that includes all the resources or enter a new subnet address.

Subnet addressing allows a system made up of multiple networks to share the same Internet address.

Enter the CIDR IP address range.

CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) is a method for allocating IP addresses. It configures a network rule to allow remote access to the Secure Agent. The "/x" portion of the address determines how many IP addresses are available in the subnet, for example: 108.124.81.10/32
