Description Bryan Yount 2015-03-12 06:39:55 UTC

3. What is the nature and description of the request?  

The customer would like to be able to provision systems in the Microsoft Azure cloud platform much the same way as Satellite allows them to do for VMware, EC2, or OpenStack.

  
4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)  

They use the Azure cloud as their public cloud and want to be able to easily scale out RHEL capability there.

  
5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)  

Satellite would include the ability to add the Azure cloud as a provisioning

  
6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.  

Ability to authenticate and provision a RHEL system in the Azure cloud.

  
8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?  

Satellite 6.2
  

9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?  

Yes, very involved.


11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented? 

Yes.

Hello guys,

any update on this? We are evaluating Azure and we would like to use this way to deploy VMs on Azure platform...

Not to my knowledge yet. You could look to use Ansible tower to do this for the moment, which will integrate with Satellite 6.

Comment 11 Sidney Sedlak 2016-05-19 10:50:26 UTC

Thanks,

googles a bit a nobody seems to to start implementing the integration, strange...

Comment 12 Ivan Necas 2016-08-16 11:51:56 UTC

There has been work towards supporting it https://github.com/theforeman/foreman_azure and should get into satellite downstream eventually

Comment 15 Gary Romo 2017-04-03 17:23:57 UTC

This would be a really interesting feature and I know of a customer who would definitely appreciate this possibility.

+1

Any update?

Comment 41 D.Masgay 2019-04-23 16:11:41 UTC

WE are waiting for a resolve for this as we have implemented RHEL VMs in Azure and strongly desire to establish a SS in Azure Gov Cloud and then a Capsule On-prem.  The majority of our servers are in Azure.
We need to manage these servers as soon as possible without the double charge.  We have asked for support and had a meeting with two rhel employees who were supposed to assist but we haven't heard anything in almost a month.

Comment 43 Stuart Kirk 2019-05-09 18:40:27 UTC

According to Bryan Kearney of Red Hat support for this will not be introduced until Sat 6.7. 

I can help with your Azure provisioning and double billing issues. Please contact me: Stuart.kirk
