Deployment Guide for Azure

Get ready to launch Hyperglance into your Azure Subscription!

1. Prerequisites - Before you start

We know you're excited to get going but it pays to be prepared, make sure you the have following things ready:

  1. Choose or create a suitable VNet and Subnet that will host Hyperglance. See section "1.1 Creating a suitable network environment" below.
  2. Set up Cost Exports - This is how Hyperglance ingests your billing data.

1.1 Creating a suitable network environment

Easiest Option -- For trials and simple installs

The easiest way to deploy Hyperglance is as a public VM. When prompted by the ARM template choose the option to create/attach a public IP address.

When deploying Hyperglance you will be prompted to select (or create) a VNet and Subnet to deploy the Hyperglance Virtual Machine into.

To operate correctly the Hyperglance VM needs to be launched into a networking environment that allows the following types of access:

  • Outbound access:
    • To the Azure APIs.
  • Inbound access:
    • Users need HTTPS inbound access to reach the Hyperglance web interface
    • Admins may also want SSH access (if not using SSM)

Examples:

Outbound access to the AWS APIs can be achieved in a few ways, for example:

  • The VM is given a Public IP
  • The VM communicates through a NAT Gateway

Inbound access for users to reach Hyperglance can be achieved in a few ways, for example:

  • The VM is given a Public IP
  • The VM is placed behind a LoadBalancer
  • A VPN connection into the cloud environment
  • A Bastion Host through which users will connect to first
