Connecting your Azure cloud

Note

The Cloud Service CLI commands used for connecting your cloud to Cloud Service register an application with Azure AD and create a service principal to delegate identity and access management functions to Azure Active Directory (AD). For more information, see for Azure EDB cloud utilities in GitHub.

Note

Cloud Service is deployed in a dedicated VNET in your cloud service provider (CSP). To make changes or modify your Cloud Service clusters, use the EDB Postgres AI Console, API, or CLI to manage and execute the activity. You can also open a Support case if you need help. Making changes to the resources in those dedicated VPCs can affect EDB's ability to deliver service.

Prerequisites

Before connecting to your cloud, make sure that you're assigned either the Global Administrator role or the Privileged Role Administrator role in Azure AD and that you have the Owner role for your Cloud Service Azure subscription.

Tip

If you're using Cloud Shell, add the ./ prefix to the biganimal command (./biganimal).

To connect your cloud:

  1. Open the Azure Cloud Shell in your browser.

  2. Create a Cloud Service CLI credential:

    biganimal credential create --name <cred>

  3. To set up your cloud provider, run the cloud-provider setup command:

    biganimal cloud-provider setup

    The command checks for cloud account readiness and displays the results.

  4. If the following readiness checks aren't met, see Configure your Azure subscription to manually configure your cloud:

    • Are the necessary Azure resource providers registered for your subscription?

    • Is there a restriction on SKUs for the standard Esv3 family and standard D2_v4 VM size?

    • Is the limit on the number of vCPU and public IP addresses in your region enough for your clusters?

    If the cloud readiness checks pass, your cloud account is successfully set up.

    Note

    At this point, you can't change the Azure subscription, as you have already provided the Azure subscription ID.

  5. Connect your cloud account to Cloud Service:

    biganimal cloud-provider connect --provider azure --project <project-name>

After your cloud account is successfully connected to Cloud Service, you, and other users with the correct permissions can create clusters.
