Deployment of Litmus Edge Manager Azure Site Model

3min

You can deploy Litmus Edge Manager as an Azure Site Model.

The Azure application does not come with an automatic license. Customers are required to reach out to the Litmus Account team to request a license after deploying the Litmus Edge Manager.

It's important to note that tag consumption is not monitored, and Litmus does not have access to the customer's environment; however, the customer maintains full control over their Virtual Machines (VM).

Payments are processed through the Azure Marketplace, which also accommodates private offers. The offer from Litmus is a site-based transactable option.

Important for Cloud Deployment: Before you activate the license, please make sure that all hardware or VM configuration steps, such as adding or replacing a Network Interface Controller (NIC), have been completed. Any modifications to the VM hardware configuration might invalidate the licensing settings.

Before You Begin

  • Ensure you have access to Azure Portal.
  • Request a Litmus Edge Manager license from the Litmus Account team.
