Windows Azure Integration Pack for Orchestrator in System Center

Note

Windows Azure Integration pack has been discontinued from System Center Orchestrator 2022 and later.

The Integration Pack for Windows Azure is an add-on for Orchestrator in System Center that enables you to automate Windows Azure operations related to certificates, deployments, cloud services, storage, and virtual machines using the '2012-03-01' version of the Windows Azure Classic Deployments REST API.

Microsoft is committed to protecting your privacy while delivering software that brings you the performance, power, and convenience you want. For more information about Orchestrator-related privacy, see the System Center Orchestrator Privacy Statement.

System Requirements

Before you install the Integration Pack for Windows Azure, the following listed software must be installed and configured. For more information about installing and configuring Orchestrator and Windows Azure, see the respective product documentation.

  • System Center 2016 integration packs require System Center 2016 - Orchestrator
  • System Center 2019 integration packs require System Center 2019 - Orchestrator
  • Windows Azure

Download the Integration Pack

Register and Deploy the Integration Pack

After you download the integration pack file, you must register it with the Orchestrator management server, and then deploy it to runbook servers and Runbook Designers. For the procedures on installing integration packs, see How To Add an Integration Pack.

Configure the Windows Azure Connections

A connection establishes a reusable link between Orchestrator and Windows Azure. You can specify as many connections as you require to create links to multiple Windows Azure subscriptions.

Set up a Windows Azure connection

  1. In the Runbook Designer, select Options, and select Windows Azure. The Windows Azure dialog appears.

  2. On the Configurations tab, select Add to begin the connection setup. The Add Configuration dialog appears.

  3. In the Name box, enter a name for the connection. This could be the name of the Windows Azure subscription, or a descriptive name to differentiate the type of connection.

  4. In the Type box, select the ... button and select a connection type.

  5. In the Subscription ID box, enter the subscription ID of the Windows Azure subscription to connect to.

  6. In the PFX File Path box, select the ... button and select the management certificate file associated with this Windows Azure subscription.

    Note

    Your certificate file enables authentication of requests to your Windows Azure subscription, and so it should be stored in a non-public folder to prevent unauthorized access.

  7. In the PFX File Password box, enter the password of the management certificate file associated with this Windows Azure subscription.

  8. Select OK to close the configuration dialog box, and select Finish.
