Deployment for Microsoft Azure
Overview
This article outlines the virtual machine requirements, including memory and data storage, for deploying the Delphix Engine on the Azure Public Cloud and Government Cloud. Once the requirements listed on this page are reviewed, refer to the next articles on Azure deployment:

Network configuration
The use of Azure Accelerated Networking is supported for Delphix Engines and is recommended to maximize network performance. Accelerated Networking provides more bandwidth with more consistent and lower network latencies.
Requirements | Notes |
---|---|
Azure virtual network (VNet) | The Delphix Engine must have <= 1 ms of latency to the Target and Staging environments. Longer latencies are permitted between the Delphix Engine and Source environments, but may impact Snapsync timings. VNET peering may be used, as long as latency requirements are met. For very low latency requirements, consider Proximity Placement Groups for Delphix Engine, Target, and Staging. |
Network security group (NSG) | The security group must be modified that allows access to all networking ports used by the Delphix Engine and the various source/target platforms. See General network and connectivity requirements for information about specific port configurations. See Network performance configuration options for information about network performance tuning. |
