In order to run IncrediBuild Cloud on Azure platform, you need to have the following:
Azure Account – when you connect to Azure platform during the IncrediBuild Cloud activation, you will need to enter your account credentials. During the activation, you can create a new Azure account or use an existing account.
Tip
If you do not have an Azure account in your organization, Azure offers you $200 credit for 30 days to explore Azure services for free: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/
During this period, you can use the credit to run IncrediBuild Cloud on Azure. The credit will cover both Azure VMs and IncrediBuild licenses. If after 30 days you will want to continue using IncrediBuild Cloud with Azure, you will be asked to confirm your consent to pay for these services. When using this credit, you cannot use Azure Marketplace to purchase IncrediBuild Cloud solution.
- Directory Role - Global Administrator – when activating IncrediBuild Cloud, you need to sign into your Azure account with a Directory Role of Global Administrator. If you do not have a user with such a role, assign this role to an existing user or create a new user:
Info: For more information on viewing and assigning administrator roles in Azure Active Directory, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/directory-manage-roles-portal
- Role-Based Access Control (RABC) - Owner – when activating IncrediBuild Cloud, you need to sign into your Azure account with an RABC of Owner. If you do not have a user with such a role, assign this role to an existing user or create a new user:
Info: For more information on Role-Based Access Control, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/overview
- Sufficient Core Quota for Azure Region – by default, each Azure region has a quota limit to the number of cores that can be used by the VMs that run on it. Before you activate IncrediBuild Cloud, you should find out what is this quota limit for your preferred region. If this quota limit is too low for your needs and you want more cores for the acceleration of your task execution, you need to increase the quota by sending a request to Azure support. For detailed information, see Setting the Core Quota of an Azure Region.
