The following Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template may be used to deploy the supporting resources (resource group, VNet, subnets, network interface controllers (NICs), and network security groups) required by the NetCloud Virtual Edge virtual machine (VM). Deploying the supporting resources through the template reduces the number of clicks or steps when compared to using the Azure portal for deployment.
Update the JSON template to reflect the configuration for the network. Once the template is loaded and ran, all the required resources, except the VM, are typically created in less than a minute.
Note
A zipped file containing the JSON template is attached to this guide.
