Building your Azure cloud infrastructure is the first of the main steps in deploying CloudBlue Commerce to Azure cloud.
Pre-requisites
Before starting to build your Azure cloud infrastructure, make sure you understand the guiding requirements and principles.
Approach
When building your Azure cloud infrastructure, you can follow one of these approaches:
- Build the infrastructure in your own way based on the guiding requirements and principles. AKS Cluster can be deployed in one of these two ways:
- without customizing IP ranges: Deploying an AKS Cluster via Azure Portal.
- with IP ranges customization: Deploying an AKS Cluster with Custom IP Ranges.
-
Build the infrastructure using the ready-made Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template.
Note: The ready-made Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template automates the Azure cloud infrastructure deployment process, deploys all the necessary infrastructure including the Azure Kubernetes Service Cluster (AKS cluster), and ensures a reference configuration compliant with the requirements and principles and illustrated by the deployment diagram. The ARM template represents a repeatable deployment configuration of the Azure Resource Group. The ARM template is a JSON file with a description of all the deployed Azure resources within a single Azure resource group.
