Create a virtual machine in Azure using VM templates on the VMware infrastructure

  • Artikkeli

You can create a virtual machine in the Azure portal by using VM templates on the VMware infrastructure that your CloudSimple administrator has enabled for your subscription.

Sign in to Azure

Sign in to the Azure portal.

  4. Enter basic information click Next:Size.

    Note

    CloudSimple virtual machine creation on Azure requires a VM template. This VM template should exist on your Private Cloud vCenter. Create a virtual machine on your Private Cloud from vCenter UI with desired operating system and configurations. Using instructions in Clone a Virtual Machine to a Template in the vSphere Web Client, create a template.

  5. Select the number of cores and memory capacity for the VM and click Next:Configurations. Select the checkbox if you want to expose full CPU virtualization to the guest operating system so that applications that require hardware virtualization can run on virtual machines without binary translation or paravirtualization. For more information, see the VMware article Expose VMware Hardware Assisted Virtualization.
