Chapter 3. Creating Your Microsoft Azure Environment
Create the virtual machines that will host your JBoss EAP instances in your Microsoft Azure environment. The virtual machines must use an Azure size of Standard_A2 or higher.
You can use either the Azure On-Demand premium images to create your virtual machines or create your own virtual machines manually.
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines, see the instructions on the Customer Portal:
- For Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 virtual machines, see the Microsoft Azure documentation for instructions on creating a Windows Server virtual machine in Microsoft Azure.
If you are configuring JBoss EAP high availability, you must create your virtual machines inside the same virtual network.
