Prerequisites
- Full Admin user role. For more information, see Manage Accounts.
- For information about the network requirements for deploying VAs, see Prerequisites for Virtual Appliances.
- If you use the VA on Azure as a DNS server for your on-premise endpoints, then DNS traffic from these endpoints should not traverse through a Network Address Translation (NAT) device en route to the VA. The VA should receive DNS packets with the source IP as the internal IP of the endpoints. An ExpressRoute or dedicated MPLS or site-to-site VPN connection from your on-premise environment to Azure will meet this requirement.
- A system running Windows 10 with the Hyper-V role enabled to convert VHD images to an Azure-acceptable format.
- Only VAs running version 2.4 or above can be deployed in Microsoft Azure.
