Tab Description Important Parameters
Storage Enables you to organize Azure
storage accounts. A storage
account provides access to the
different types of Azure
storage, such as Azure Blob,
Queue Table, and File storage.
For most blueprints, you can
accept the defaults.
Storage account - Enter the storage account name for the virtual
machine if appropriate. The Azure virtual machine operating system
disk is deployed to this storage account. You can find storage group
information in the Azure portal. You may have one or more storage
accounts.
Note Storage account names with underscores or other special
characters may cause errors.
Add Diagnostic Storage - Select this check box if you use
diagnostic data with your Azure instance.
Number of Storage Disks - Select the appropriate number of data
storage disks as used with your virtual machine. You can specify up
to four disks. These disks are in addition to the operating system disk
as specified in the Storage account text box.

have up to four interfaces.

Number of Network Interfaces - Select the number of network
interfaces used with the Azure instance. The number of network
interfaces must be supported by the virtual machine size as
selected on the Storage tab.

Network interface - Select the appropriate network interface for
the virtual machine blueprint. If you enter an existing network,
you can ignore all other network tabs. If you enter a network
interface name that does not exist, a new interface with that
name is created, and you can use the other Network tabs to
configure the interface.
