# Azure Market Place

## Introduction

Apart from installing Exivity in any on premise environment, Exivity can also be deployed from the Azure Market Place (AMP). Deploying Exivity on AMP is straight forward, and can be finised within a few minutes via your Azure Portal.

### Azure Marketplace Offering

Login to your Azure Portal at <https://portal.azure.com> and then go to the *Marketplace* to search for the Exivity offer:

![Exivity on Azure Market Place](https://3420689551-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LHEKskLK6aXinV75Knl%2F-LMhG-P_uMu3ObIX4Hso%2F-LMhGVskVA6nbY5W6o0j%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=b6fa2524-9167-4b84-9bad-330252dad9df)

Once you've selected the Exivity offering, you should be presented with the following screen:

After clicking the *Create* button, you will be redirected to the VM deployment wizard

### Deployment Wizard

1. Fill in a Windows user/pass and pick your deployment *Resource Group:*&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to write down this **username** and **password**, as you will need these when connecting to the Exivity Windows server using the Remote Desktop Protocol.
{% endhint %}

1. Try to pick a recommended VM size type that has enough CPU's and Memory (see [this page](https://olddocs.exivity.io/2.10.2/getting-started/installation) for general system requirements). Smaller machines are possible, but will influence performance:

1. You may select any additional options, but none are required for running Exivity succesfully, so you may skip this page simply by clicking the *OK* button:

1. Review the summary and click *Create* to deploy your Exivity VM:

![](https://3420689551-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LHEKskLK6aXinV75Knl%2F-LMhG-P_uMu3ObIX4Hso%2F-LMhRGZj0rKLl5xk3eIf%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=9d39ec00-0526-4d85-a3e9-0582100fc03b)

This may take a few minutes. You may review the status of the Virtual Machine in your VM list:

Write down the **Public IP address** once it is available. Optionally you may configure a custom **DNS name** to have an easy way to connect.

### Connecting to your Exivity instance

You can logon to your Exivity instance with RDP, but after deployment you should be able to connect to your instance using the public IP address or DNS name of your Exivity instance considering the following default URL:

* **https\://***\<Your\_Public\_IP>***:8001**

![login to Exivity](https://3420689551-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LHEKskLK6aXinV75Knl%2F-Lhtxxm9bITzQXOC661o%2F-LMhU_1KRysBqjdjGjJk%2Fimage.png?generation=1561119429529477\&alt=media)

The default admin username is **admin** with password **exivity**.

By default no data is loaded into the system, so you'll have to create a new [*Extractor* ](https://olddocs.exivity.io/2.10.2/getting-started/installation/azure-market-place)for obtaining consumption data and a [*Transformer* ](https://olddocs.exivity.io/2.10.2/getting-started/installation/azure-market-place)to process that data. A [*Report Definition* ](https://olddocs.exivity.io/2.10.2/getting-started/installation/azure-market-place)is then created to be able to report on your consumption metrics and costs.
