Azure Overview

Preparing an Azure environment for use by Valtix Controller assumes that you already have a Subscription and it is associated to an Azure Active Directory.

** Overview of steps **

  1. Register an application with Azure Active Directory
  2. Create a custom role under Access Control (IAM) for the Subscription
  3. Assign the role to the application
  4. Optionally create a User Assigned Managed Identity for access to KeyVault and Blob Storage
  5. Accept Marketplace Terms

** Scripted setup **

The above steps are scripted in bash and can be found here. To run the script simply:

  1. Open Azure Cloud Shell (Bash) in the subscription you wish to register as account in Valtix
  2. Download the bash script and run the script. 
    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/valtix-security/cli-azure-setup/master/azure-setup.sh
./azure-setup.sh

The output from the script are all the parameters needed to register a new cloud account in Valtix controller.

To perform these steps manually or if you cannot run the scripted setup mentioned above, follow the steps in the next pages.
