Considerations

The following explains how to create and configure Azure resources, assuming that you are already logged into the Azure portal (administration site).

• When creating Azure resource clusters following the instructions in this document, assign all Azure resources unique names in order to make it easier to later create multiple sets of resources for the same purpose. As an example, the VMs on an SPS cluster node would be named as follows:
  • prefixlknode01 → ”sios20lknode01”
  • prefixlknode02 → “sios20lknode02”

The prefix refers to an arbitrary string chosen by the user performing the steps documented herein. In the description, “sios20” is used as an example of the prefix.
