Infoblox vNIOS for Azure Public Cloud: Refers to the vNIOS appliance deployed on Microsoft Azure public cloud, a collection of integrated cloud services in the Microsoft public cloud.
You can deploy this vNIOS appliance from the Microsoft Azure Marketplace or from the Azure CLI. For steps, see Deploying vNIOS for Azure from the Marketplace and Deploying vNIOS for Azure Public Cloud from the CLI.After deploying the vNIOS appliance in the Azure public cloud, use vDiscovery to discover and periodically re-discover all resources in the VNets (Azure virtual networks) within your Microsoft cloud. For information about setting up vDiscovery in Azure, see Performing vDIscovery on VNets.
With the Azure DNS synchronization feature introduced in NIOS 9.0.4, you can enable NIOS to span across Azure virtual networks to discover and integrate Azure DNS data with the NIOS database to get a unified console experience in NIOS. You can configure it to discover and synchronize data across multiple subscriptions of an Azure tenant.
In addition to the DNS, DHCP and IPAM services, vNIOS appliances deployed on Azure Public Cloud provide TFTP, HTTP, FTP, and other services, according to the licenses installed on them. While vNIOS can provide DHCP as a service, Microsoft Azure explicitly does not support any system running DHCP on Microsoft Azure for on-prem networks. For more information, see the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
Starting from NIOS 9.0.4, you can deploy vNIOS for Azure public cloud appliances in an HA (high availability) setup. For deployment steps in Azure, see Deploying vNIOS for Azure Public Cloud from the CLI and for information related to HA in NIOS, see the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
With Network Insight appliances deployed on the Azure public cloud, use the discovery feature to detect devices in your network and to collect and manage the device data from Grid Manager. For more information on Network Insight, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
Infoblox vNIOS for Azure Government: Refers to the vNIOS appliance deployed on Microsoft Azure Government. For more information and the deployment procedure, see the vNIOS for Azure Public Cloud topics in this guide.
Infoblox vNIOS for Azure Stack Hub: Refers to the vNIOS appliance deployed on Azure Stack Hub, which is a hybrid-cloud platform that enables a vNIOS appliance to deliver Azure services in an on-prem environment. You can deploy vNIOS for Azure Stack Hub instances from the Azure CLI or the Microsoft Azure Stack Hub portal. For steps, see Deploying vNIOS for Azure Stack Hub from the CLI.
In addition to the DNS and IPAM services, vNIOS appliances deployed on Azure Stack Hub provide TFTP, HTTP, FTP, and other services, according to the licenses installed. While vNIOS can provide DHCP as a service, Microsoft Azure explicitly does not support any system running DHCP on Microsoft Azure for on-prem networks. For more information, see the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
