Tab Description Important Parameters
Size - Defines the specific virtual machine instance size within a
series. Size is related to the selected Series. If you have a valid
connection to an Azure instance, the available sizes fare populated
dynamically based on the subscription and selected location and
series. See the Azure documentation for size information.
Instance Size Details - Optional information about the virtual
machine instance series and size.
Machine Resources Organize virtual machine
resources into buckets. A
resource group is an
organizational construct that
groups virtual machine
resources such as Web sites,
accounts, databases and
networks.
An Availability Set is a
mechanism for managing two
or more virtual machines to
support redundancy. See
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-
us/documentation/articles/virtu
al-machines-windows-manage-
availability/ for more
information about Azure
Availability Sets.
Note If you configure a
blueprint with the maximum
number of Azure instances set
to a value greater than 1, then
you should use the existing
resource group and availability
set rather than create new
ones. Using new resource
groups or new availability sets
on more than one instance in
the same deployment will
cause errors and other
problems if associated with
load balancers.
Create or reuse Resource group: - Select the appropriate radio
button to indicate whether you want to use the existing Azure
resource group or create a new one. You can find this name of the
existing resource group on the Resource Groups page in the Azure
portal. If you choose to create a new resource group, an appropriate
name for the new group appears automatically in the Resource
Group text box.
Create or reuse Availability set: Select the appropriate radio button
depending on what you want to do. If you select Create New, the
appropriate information for the new Availability set info appears in the
text box.
