  1. Use the Azure CLI to deploy a VM using a command like the following template. Make sure that you have the <image_version_object_id> that your Luminoso CSM shared with you. At minimum, Luminoso recommends a virtual machine type that has at least 4 vCPUs and 16GiB of memoryWe recommend 4vCPUs and 16 GiB of RAM as minimum requirements for a machine running Luminoso products. This minimum is for relatively low workloads. Please upgrade your instance size based on workload and performance expectations if needed. If you select a virtual machine type below this level, Luminoso functionality does not run properly.
    az vm create --name <VM_NAME> --resource-group <YOUR_RESOURCE_GROUP> --image <image_version_object_id> --size <VM_SIZE> --data-disk-sizes-gb <DATA_DISK_SIZE_IN_GB> --storage-sku <STORAGE_TYPE> --subnet <YOUR_SUBNET_OBJECT_ID_FOR_DEPLOYMENT> --subscription <YOUR_AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID>

    • Filled out, your command might look like this:
