After uploading the vNIOS image, you are ready to create a VM instance and deploy it from the Azure CLI. Starting from NIOS 8.5.3, vNIOS instances deployed on the public Azure public cloud can be deployed on Azure managed disks.

Excerpt

To deploy a vNIOS image, complete the following steps:

  1. Create a managed disk with the following details:
    az disk create --name <managed_disk_name> --resource-group <resource_group_name> --size 250 --sku StandardPremium_LRS --source "https://<resource_group_name>.blob.core.windows.net/<storage_container_blob_name>/<vhd_image_name>" --source-storage-account-id "/subscriptions/<subscription_name>/resourceGroups/<resource_group_name>/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/<storage_account_name>" --os-type Linux

    Note: For better performance, specifyPremium_LRSas thesku.
    Example:
    az disk create --name nios-managed-disk --resource-group rg-east-01 --size 250 --sku StandardPremium_LRS --source "https://rgeastcloudautomation.blob.core.windows.net/images/nios-image.vhd" --source-storage-account-id "/subscriptions/1abcd012-2abc-123a-4abc-12a345678ab1/resourceGroups/rg-east-01/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/rgeastcloudautomation" --os-type Linux

  2. Create two network interfaces by specifying the resource group, subnet, and virtual network names corresponding to the interfaces:
    az network nic create --name <NIC-1_name> --resource-group <resource_group_name> --subnet <subnet_name> --vnet-name <virtual_network_name>
    az network nic create --name <NIC-2_name> --resource-group <resource_group_name> --subnet <subnet_name> --vnet-name <virtual_network_name>

  3. Create a NIOS instance by attaching the network interfaces and the managed disk to it. Provide the following details:

    az vm create --resource-group <resource_group_name> --name <instance_name> --nics <NIC-1_name> <NIC-2_name> --attach-os-disk "/subscriptions/<Subscription_ID>/resourcegroups/<resource_group_name>/providers/
    Microsoft.Compute/disks/<managed_disk_name>" --size <VM_size> --location <location_name> --os-type Linux


    Example:
    az vm create --resource-group rg-east-01 --name nios-vm-with-managed-disk --nics nic1 nic2 --attach-os-disk "/subscriptions/1abcd012-2abc-123a-4abc-12a345678ab1/resourcegroups/rg-east-01/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/nios-managed-disk" --size Standard_DS12DS14_v2 --location eastus --os-type Linux
