Azure Deployment

NCache Cloud is provisioned as an Azure Managed Application within your tenant subscription. This section covers the end-to-end lifecycle for deploying and operationalizing NCache Cloud on Microsoft Azure - from pre-provisioning network prerequisites to post-deployment verification and telemetry dashboards.

Deployment Lifecycle Overview

A standard deployment follows these core stages:

  1. Prerequisites Verification: Prepare target resource groups, virtual networks, subnets, and licensing requirements (including Microsoft Entra ID P2 for Just-In-Time access).

  2. Marketplace Provisioning: Launch the marketplace offer, select your licensing plan, configure node topology (Single-Region, Multi-Zone, or Multi-Region Geo-Replication), define maintenance windows, and configure technical support access.

  3. Automated Infrastructure Orchestration: Azure deploys the Managed Resource Group (MRG), provisioning the VMSS cluster, load balancers, private endpoints, DNS zones, and runbooks.

  4. Post-Deployment Access & Testing: Connect client applications via private endpoints, verify cluster health with the stress test tool, access the NCache Cloud Portal, and inspect telemetry in Azure Monitor.
