7.
Use the template and parameters JSON files to launch a vEOS Router instance in Azure using the Azure
CLI
2.0.
$ az group create --name ExampleGroup --location "Central US"
Note: You must use the same location as the storage account where the VHD image is uploaded.
$ az group deployment create \
--name ExampleDeployment \
--resource-group ExampleGroup \
--template-file <prefix>-template.json \
--parameters @<prefix>-parameters.json
Note: If you are using a newer version of the Azure CLI 2.0, you may encounter a parameter file
parsing bug. To fix this, remove the
"
@
"
symbol before the parameters filename.
