Quickstart: Create an advanced serverless deployment using Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud

In this quickstart, you use the Azure portal to create advanced serverless runtime in your Informatica IDMC organization.

Prerequisites

  • An Informatica Organization. If you don't have an Informatica Organization. Refer to Get started with Informatica – An Azure Native ISV Service

  • After an Organization is created, make sure to sign in to the Informatica Portal from Overview tab of the Organization. Creating a serverless runtime environment fails if you don't first sign in to Informatica portal at least once.

  • A subnet used in serverless runtime environment must be delegated to Informatica.DataManagement/organizations.
