Using Windows Azure Pack
With Windows Azure Pack, you can oer rich, self-service cloud IaaS services.
With the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft solution, you can easily provision and oer virtual machines and VM roles for your users.
All components needed for IaaS through the Virtual Machine Cloud resource provider are already installed, with the required integration
already congured.
To read about how to manage Windows Azure Pack, see Administer Windows Azure Pack for Windows Server on Microsoft TechNet.
Default Windows Azure Pack conguration
In the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft, the Windows Azure Pack components are installed on two VMs, as described in the

VM Name Purpose
< Prex >APA01 Hosts the Windows Azure Pack admin components. These include:
• Management portal for administrators— A portal for administrators to
congure and manage resource clouds, user accounts, tenant plans, quotas,
and pricing. In this portal, administrators create plans, and manage user
subscriptions.
• Admin API— Exposes functionality to complete administrative tasks from
the management portal for administrators or through the use of Windows
PowerShell cmdlets.
• Tenant API—Enables tenants to manage and congure cloud services that
are included in the plans that they subscribe to.
• Admin authentication site— By default, Windows Azure Pack uses
Windows authentication for the administration portal. Before going into
production, you must disable this site and use AD FS or an external third-
party identity system that supports Web Services Federation (WS-
Federation) and JWT tokens to authenticate users.
