Obtain Microsoft Azure ARM credentials and add to Abiquo

Abiquo supports several different types of Azure ARM subscriptions.

How Abiquo works with Microsoft Azure ARM

Abiquo creates virtual datacenters that correspond to virtual networks in Azure ARM.

The virtual network in Azure will have the same name as the VDC in Abiquo. The private network in Azure will have the same name as the private network in Abiquo.

When the user creates a VDC, they can specify the address space of the virtual network. The user can create, onboard, and delete address ranges. See Manage address ranges.

NICs

Abiquo supports private IPs in Azure as follows:

If you deploy a VM with more than one private IP, a NIC is created for each IP. The number of supported NICs depends on the size of the VM
You cannot reconfigure a deployed VM to attach another private IP from a different subnet.

In Azure, every VM must have at least one private IP address. And to add a public IP address, you must have a corresponding private IP address.

Abiquo represents every IP address separately, so you cannot reorder Azure NICs in Abiquo.
