You can easily download and deploy the vNIOS PayGo model for Azure virtual appliances directly from the Azure Marketplace. The vNIOS PayGo virtual appliance is pre-configured for Microsoft Azure, so you only need to follow a few simple steps to complete the deployment.

Before deploying the appliances, ensure that your setup meets the requirements listed in the Prerequisites section. To deploy a vNIOS for Azure virtual appliance directly from Azure Marketplace, complete the following steps:

  1. Log in to your Microsoft Azure account.

  2. In the Microsoft Azure portal, enter "infoblox" as the search filter, and then select one of the Azure PayGo virtual appliances from the search results in the Marketplace section:

    • Infoblox NIOS PayGo 
  3. Click Create, and then complete the steps described in the following topics to deploy vNIOS for Azure:
  4. To deploy vNIOS instances with high availability configuration, perform the steps described in Configuring the vNIOS Instance with High Availability.

    The table below lists the models of vNIOS PayGo for Azure appliances that support the cloud platform feature. Ensure that the selected model meets the minimum requirements of 4 CPU cores and 32 GB memory.
