Deploy and configure Azure VMware Solution

Once you've planned your deployment, you'll deploy and configure your Azure VMware Solution private cloud.

The diagram shows the deployment workflow of Azure VMware Solution.

:::image type="content" source="media/deploy-azure-vmware-solution-workflow.png" alt-text="Diagram showing the Azure VMware Solution deployment workflow." lightbox="media/deploy-azure-vmware-solution-workflow.png" border="false":::

In this how-to, you'll:

[!div class="checklist"]

  • Register the resource provider and create a private cloud
  • Connect to a new or existing ExpressRoute virtual network gateway
  • Validate the network connect

After you're finished, follow the recommended next steps at the end to continue with the steps of this getting started guide.

Register the Microsoft.AVS resource provider

[!INCLUDE register-resource-provider-steps]

Create an Azure VMware Solution private cloud

[!INCLUDE create-private-cloud-azure-portal-steps]

Note

For an end-to-end overview of this step, view the Azure VMware Solution: Deployment video.

Connect to Azure Virtual Network with ExpressRoute

In the planning phase, you defined whether to use an existing or new ExpressRoute virtual network gateway.

Important

[!INCLUDE disk-pool-planning-note]

Use a new ExpressRoute virtual network gateway

Important

You must have a virtual network with a GatewaySubnet that does not already have a virtual network gateway.

If Then
You don't already have a virtual network... Create the following:
  1. Virtual network
  2. GatewaySubnet
  3. Virtual network gateway
  4. Connect ExpressRoute to the gateway
You already have a virtual network without a GatewaySubnet... Create the following:
  1. GatewaySubnet
  2. Virtual network gateway
  3. Connect ExpressRoute to the gateway
You already have a virtual network with a GatewaySubnet... Create the following:
  1. Virtual network gateway
  2. Connect ExpressRoute to the gateway

Use an existing virtual network gateway

[!INCLUDE connect-expressroute-to-vnet]

Validate the connection

You should have connectivity between the Azure Virtual Network where the ExpressRoute terminates and the Azure VMware Solution private cloud.

  1. Use a virtual machine within the Azure Virtual Network where the Azure VMware Solution ExpressRoute terminates. For more information, see Connect to Azure Virtual Network with ExpressRoute.

    1. Log into the Azure portal.

    2. Navigate to a VM that is in the running state, and under Settings, select Networking and select the network interface resource.

      :::image type="content" source="../virtual-network/media/diagnose-network-routing-problem/view-nics.png" alt-text="Screenshot showing virtual network interface settings.":::

    3. On the left, select Effective routes. You'll see a list of address prefixes that are contained within the /22 CIDR block you entered during the deployment phase.

  2. If you want to log into both vCenter and NSX-T Manager, open a web browser and log into the same virtual machine used for network route validation.

    You can identify the vCenter and NSX-T Manager console's IP addresses and credentials in the Azure portal. Select your private cloud and then Manage > Identity.

Next steps

In the next tutorial, you'll connect Azure VMware Solution to your on-premises network through ExpressRoute.
