Overview

HyperCloudTM Platform (HCP) lets your Cloud and Tenant Administrators manage your Microsoft Azure Cloud Provider.

Once you've configured your Microsoft Azure Cloud Provider, you can:

  • Configure Microsoft Azure availability zones.

  • Set up the lease period for your Cloud Provider.

  • Allow wizard-based VM provisioning of your Cloud Provider.

Create Microsoft Azure Cloud Provider

Before you begin

You'll need to create a Cloud Account on your HCP portal. To know more, refer to the section on [HCP] Cloud Account Management.

To create a Microsoft Azure Cloud Provider on the HCP portal:

  1. Login to your HCP account.

  2. Navigate to Service Orchestrations > Providers > New > Microsoft Azure.

  3. Click the Cloud Account on which you want to create the Microsoft Azure Provider. This will open the Resource Manager dialog for Microsoft Azure.

  4. Click on Load Regions.

  5. Select the remote cloud provider region from the Region dropdown.

  6. Enter a name for your Microsoft Azure Cloud Provider.

  7. Click on Save Changes.

    • Saving your changes, triggers the resource discovery in the Account and Region you specified in the Resource Manager dialog above.

    • This process includes the discovery of the networking details for your Microsoft Azure subscription.  

Note: Whenever you make changes to your network settings on your Microsoft Azure Portal, you'll have to synchronize these changes in data between your Microsoft Azure and HCP portal. To do that, you'll need to use the Refresh Info feature on the HCP portal.

To Refresh Info for a Cloud Provider on your HCP portal: 

  1. Login to your HCP account.

  2. Navigate to Service Orchestrations > Providers >  Select the name of your Microsoft Azure Provider > Overview > Refresh Info.
