Deploy automatically via Azure Marketplace

Create a managed application

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

   

Warning: Azure Marketplace can be opened in 2 ways: Method 1 - Opening it as shown in step 1, which takes you here:

Method 2 - Opening it directly (not from the Azure portal), which takes you here:

To follow the deployment steps detailed below, you need to access Azure Marketplace using Method 1. The steps below will not align if you use Method 2.

1. Search for "LoadFAST" and select the application from the search results.

1. Click Create.

   
2. Fill the form as detailed below:

   

   • Project details

     • Subscription: Select the subscription where the pre-deployment resources were created earlier. It should be the same one used in step 4 of the section detailing Power BI capacities.

     • Resource group: Select a resource group (or create a new one by selecting Create new). It should be the same one used in step 4 of the section detailing Power BI capacities.

   • Instance details

     • Region: Select a region that has the subscription with the necessary Kubernetes regional cores quota. Steps to check/increase your subscription's quota were detailed in the Prerequisites section.

     • Client ID: Enter the application (client) ID of the service principal (app registration), generated when the app registration was created. The application (client) ID was visible in step 7 of that process.

     • Client secret: Enter the client secret of the service principal (app registration), created earlier in the pre-deployment steps.

     • Confirm client secret: Re-enter the same client secret.

     • Tenant ID: Enter the directory (tenant) ID of the service principal (app registration), generated when the app registration was created. The directory (tenant) ID was visible in step 7 of that process.

     • Web app name: Create and enter a name. This will be the name of the web app that is deployed when using the LoadFAST tool. This will be the URL of the tool: "https://<app_name>.azurewebsites.net".

     • Maximum user load count: Select the value that was used in your calculations earlier (step 4 of that section).

     Warning: The option selected for the maximum concurrent load count CANNOT be increased after deployment. If an increase is needed, the tool will have to be re-deployed and re-set up from the beginning.

     Take this into consideration as you select an option.

     Example:

     If 100 was selected as the maximum concurrent load count value but...

     • I only need 50 --> The load limit can be reduced directly within the tool.

     • I need 150 --> The tool will have to be re-deployed.

   • Managed Application Details

     • Application Name: Create and enter a name. This will be the name of the managed application where the Azure resources for the tool will reside.

     • Managed Resource Group: This field will be prepopulated when the form is opened. By default, the managed resource group name will be in this format: "mrg-powerbiloadanalyzer-<CurrentYearMonthDayHourMinuteSeconds>", but you can change it to any name you want.
