Resource Configuration in Azure

In the Resource Configuration section, we will configure the parameters for virtual machines which we will deploy. This includes the selection of virtual machine size, login credentials, and vendor specific information, which in case of azure will be:

  • Region
  • Subscription
  • Resource Group
  • VNET
  • Subnet

Resource Configuration

  • Server VM size is based on the number of cores and memory size. From the dropdown menu, Select the VM Server Size that is most appropriate for your use-case.
Note

Usage of NCache is free, however you will need to pay for the underlying infrastructure directly to Azure.

  • Choose the number of servers, most appropriate for your cache cluster. In general, three servers per cache cluster are recommended.
  • Choose the version of NCache that you want to go with. NCache is offered for both Windows and Linux.
  • Enter the username and password details.

Deployment Configuration

Note

Resource group, Virtual Network, and Subnet should be created beforehand, as these are not created by the NCache Cloud Portal.

  • Region: This is the geographical location, where the virtual machine and its associated resources will be located.
  • Subscription: This is your Azure subscription, which will be used for provisioning of resources.
  • Resource Group: This will be your Azure Resource Group that will encapsulate all of your provisioned resources.
  • VNET: VNET is required by NCache for carrying out network related activities.
  • Subnet: A subnetwork or subnet is a logical subdivision of an IP network. One is created by default with a VNET.
  • Enable HTTPS for NCache Manager: You may choose to enable HTTPS for accessing NCache Manager publicly. Do note that this will be a self-signed TLS/SSL certificate and modern browsers will throw a security warning.

Deployment Configuration

  • After providing all the details click on Next: Review & Create to proceed further.

Review and Create
