Microsoft Azure support

We can deploy ISAM to Microsoft Azure environments.

Deploying Security Verify Access to Microsoft Azure involves the following processes:

1. Create an Azure-ready VHD or obtaining the Azure-ready VHD.
2. Uploading an Azure-ready VHD to Microsoft Azure.

3. Create an image from the uploaded VHD.

4. Deploy the image as a new virtual machine using Azure Portal or the command line.

Complete these processes either manually or with an automated script. Obtain the deploy_isva_to_azure.py script from the File Downloads page in the common > samples > deploy directory on a running appliance. To see script help, run the following command:

python deploy_isva_to_azure.py --help

The following restrictions apply to the deploy_isam_to_azure.py script:

• Supported Python versions are 2.79 and 3.4.3.
• This script has a dependency on the requests module.
