Public cloud regions
To use Azure in Abiquo, the first step is to create a public cloud region.
...
Remember that you can add credentials for ONE Azure subscription to ONE Abiquo enterprise only.
If you have a CSP acocuntaccount, you can give customers access to compute and billing features, or billing features only.
...
Abiquo will automatically retrieve the hardware profiles for your public cloud region, which are Azure virtual machine sizes. The platform also registers if a hardware profile is Active and if it belongs to the Current generation.
...
See Hardware profiles.
...
Resource groups
When users onboard or synchronize virtual datacenters, the platform will onboard or update the Azure Resource Groups used in the platform.
From the Resource groups tab, you can manage resource groups and all of the resources in each resource group.
...
...
Create a resource group
If you do not onboard resource groups from Azure, you must create a resource group before you create a virtual datacenter.
To create a resource group, go to myCloud → global. The resource group is at the global level, but Abiquo will store the metadata in the selected Region.

For more details, see Manage availability sets.
To be able to work with Azure use basic SKU load balancers in Azure, you must create an availability set and add your VMs to it.

...
When you are importing templates, you can filter by providers. And if your templates have conditions of use, you can accept them on import, or users can accept them when they create a VM.
...
Then select a hardware profile as in other public cloud providers.
...
To be able to connect to your VM, add a private IP and a public IP address in the first vNIC sequence position.
...
To be able to connect to the VM, also select a firewall to allow connections.
