Set up Azure

Detailed below are the Azure-related prerequisite steps to complete to set up the EmbedFAST.

Azure subscription

You need an active Azure subscription to deploy resources.

Owner role within the Azure subscription

You need to grant yourself the “Owner” (Privileged Administrator) role for the subscription to create a managed application. This gives you full ownership and extensive permissions. Follow the steps listed below to assign yourself the Owner role:

1. Log into the Azure portal.

2. Type “Subscriptions" in the search bar and select said option as it appears.

   
3. Click on your subscription's name to open its overview page.

   
4. Select Access Control (IAM) from the left pane.

   
5. Click on Add and select Add role assignment from the drop-down pane.

   
6. Select the Privileged administrator roles subsection and search for Owner in the search box.

7. Select the Owner role and click on Next at the bottom of the page.

   
8. Click on Select members.

9. Search for your account ID in the Select entry field and select it.

   
10. Review the details. Click on Review + assign to complete the process.

    

Resource group

You need to have a resource group (in the Azure subscription) where all the resources related to this application will be deployed.

• Having Owner access grants you full control over the subscription, allowing you to create, manage, and delete resources.

• You must have Owner access within the Azure subscription to deploy resources (follow the steps detailed in point 2. to assign this access).

• Follow the steps detailed below to create a resource group:

  1. Type “Resource groups" in the Azure portal search bar and select said option as it appears.

     
  2. Click on Create.

     
  3. On the Create a resource group page, provide the following information:

     

     • Subscription: The subscription where you have Owner access on it.

     • Resource Group: Create and enter a unique name for your resource group. This name could be descriptive and reflect the purpose of the resource group.

     • Region: Choose the Azure region where you want to create the resource group. Note that it can affect billing and management.

  4. Click on Review + create to create the resource group. Azure will validate your configuration for any errors.

  5. You can access and manage the resource group by navigating to Resource groups in the left-hand menu of the Azure portal.
