Connector installation options in Azure
There are a few different ways to create a Connector in Azure. Directly from BlueXP is the most common way.
The following installation options are available:
-
Create a Connector directly from BlueXP (this is the standard option)
This action launches a VM running Linux and the Connector software in a VNet of your choice.
-
Create a Connector from the Azure Marketplace
This action also launches a VM running Linux and the Connector software, but the deployment is initiated directly from the Azure Marketplace, rather than from BlueXP.
-
Download and manually install the software on your own Linux host
The installation option that you choose impacts how you prepare for installation. This includes how you provide BlueXP with the required permissions that it needs to authenticate and manage resources in Azure.
