This topic explains the steps to create a NetScaler VPX instance from Azure Marketplace.

Prerequisites

  • A valid Azure Marketplace account and subscription
  • An existing Kubernetes cluster in Azure

Deploy NetScaler VPX from Azure Marketplace

Perform the following steps to create a NetScaler VPX instance from Azure Marketplace.

  1. Log in to your Azure Marketplace account.

  2. Locate the resource group automatically created as a part of creating the Kubernetes cluster.

    • If the Kubernetes cluster X is a part of a resource group Y in region Z then search for a resource group starting with MC followed ty X_Y_Z (MC_X_Y_Z). For example, consider a Kubernetes cluster with the following attributes:

      • cluster name as cic-cluster-basic-1
      • resource group for the cluster as AKS_RG
      • region used for the cluster as southindia

    Then, a resource group would have been automatically created as MC_AKS_RG_cic-cluster-basic-1_southindia.

  3. Add NetScaler VPX in the resource group located in step 2.

    • From the resource group page, click +Add.

    • Search for NetScaler 12.1, select a software plan, and click Create.

    • Verify the management details and then click Next.

      Azure-image-vpx8

    • Verify any Advanced details if necessary and then click Next.

      Azure-image-vpx9

    • Specify any Tags if needed and click Next.

  5. Set the NetScaler VPX networking configurations required as part of ingress or the NetScaler Ingress Controller deployment in the cluster.

    • Go to the Networking section on the deployed VPX Page, and select Network Interface on the right.

      Azure-image-vpx12

    • Select IP configurations on the network interfaces page and click +Add for adding a new IP address.

      Azure-image-vpx13

    • Add an IP address for SNIP, specify a name, keep the allocation method as Dynamic, and set the public IP address as Disabled.

      Azure-image-vpx14

      • Add an IP address for VIP, specify a name, keep the allocation method as Dynamic, and public IP address as Enabled.

      Azure-image-vpx15

      Azure-image-vpx16

      • Verify all IP configurations and then set the IP forwarding as Enabled.

      Azure-image-vpx17

  6. Verify if you are able to SSH into NetScaler VPX using the primary public IP address and the user name and password set during the NetScaler VPX deployment.

Note:

Before proceeding with the verification, make sure that all the necessary firewall settings are configured. Verify the SSH access and access to other ports like 80 and 443.
