NetScaler Console on Azure Cloud

March 28, 2025

Contributed by:

Starting from 14.1-43.x, NetScaler Console offers more deployment options where NetScaler Console can be deployed as a Virtual Machine (VM) on Azure through the Azure Marketplace and Azure Government Marketplace. NetScaler Console service is not a feasible option for customers whose cloud deployments are air-gapped and lack internet connectivity. NetScaler Console deployed as a VM on Azure enables you to efficiently manage and monitor your NetScaler VPX instances using NetScaler Console within the Azure deployments.

Prerequisites

Before you configure, ensure that you have access to Azure Cloud and Resource Group.

Note:

We recommend that you create a resource group, network security group, virtual network, and other required entities before you provision NetScaler Console.

Configure NetScaler Console

In Azure Cloud:

Go to Marketplace, search for NetScaler Console, and then click Select.

After you select the image, you will be redirected to the Create Virtual Machine workflow.
Specify the following:
1. Resource Group - Select a resource group from the list.
2. Virtual Machine Name - A name of your choice.
3. Region - Select a region from the list.
4. Image - Populated automatically since you have selected it from the Marketplace.
5. Select the VM size from the list (8vcpu, 32 GB RAM is recommended).
6. Authentication Type - Select SSH public key.
  
  Note:
  
  Password option is not supported.
7. Username - Change the name as nsroot. The default user name to access NetScaler Console is nsroot.
8. SSH public key source - You can use an existing key pair or create a new key pair.
9. Public Inbound Ports - Select None.
10. Click Review + Create.
  
  The VM summary is displayed. Validate everything and then click Create.
11. The VM deployment shows that the status is in progress. After the deployment is complete, click Go to Resource.
  
  The information about the VM is displayed and you can view the public and private IPs of the VM under Networking. You can login (nsroot/nsroot) using the public IP through a browser.
  
  Note:
  
  If you want to use the private IP address, ensure that you have an Azure Virtual Desktop running in the same Azure Cloud Network to access NetScaler Console through the private IP address.
  
  After you login, you will be prompted to change the password.
