Prior to initializing an AVS deployment, a couple prerequisite steps must be completed.
- A support request must be logged in order to have AVS hosts allocated to the region or regions you will be using. This request process can take up to 5 business days and the process for requesting a host quota depends on the kind of agreement in place.
- If you are an Enterprise Agreement (EA) or Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) use this process.
- If you are a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) use this process.
- You must register your Azure subscription with the AVS and BareMetal Resource providers. This can either be accomplished via the Azure GUI or via the Azure CLI.
- To register the Resource Providers via the GUI, follow the below screenshots:
Start by navigating to the Subscription you wish to use with AVS. From the Subscription window in Azure, select Resource Providers under Settings, search for microsoft.avs select it and then click on the Register button.
After a few minutes, you should see that the AVS Resource Provider has been registered.
- Repeat the same steps to register Microsoft.BareMetal Resource Provider.
- Alternatively, to register the Resource providers via the Azure CLI enter the following command:
az provider register -n Microsoft.AVS --subscription <your subscription ID>
az provider register -n Microsoft.BareMetal --subscription <your subscription ID>
