Deployment

Select the CloudBeaver Community image

1. Log in to the Azure Portal and search for Community images in the search bar.
2. In the search bar on the left side under Community images, enter cloudbeaver-ce. Select the image for your region from the list and click Create VM.

Configure the virtual machine

   • Resource group: Create a new group or select an existing one.

2. Instance details:

Start with CloudBeaver server setup

1. After the virtual machine is created, retrieve its public IP address:

   • In the Azure Portal, go to Virtual Machines.
   • Select your virtual machine.
   • In the Overview section, find the Public IP address.

2. Use this public IP address to start configuring and accessing the CloudBeaver interface.

3. In your browser, go to http://public-ip/, where <public-ip> is the public IP address of your Azure instance.

4. You’ll be redirected to CloudBeaver’s initial configuration wizard to complete the setup.
