Windows Azure Pack: Chapter 4 - Creating Plans

Windows Azure Pack, as a self-service mechanism provides users the ability to create virtual machines and services themselves. Then, you as administrator will be able to create different plans for the users in order to manage and control the resources available in the infrastructure.

Let's show how to create a plan, shall we?

Creating a Plan

Click on New, click Plan and click on Create plan.

Just follow the wizard. Enter a name for your plan.

Select the services you want for your plan.

Pass through out add-ons. Click the checkmark button.

When wizard finishes, click on your Plan.

Select your VMM server and your Cloud, and set up whatever limitation you want for your plan.

On the Networks section, click Add Network.

Select your VM network and click the checkmark button.

Click Save and wait until plan has been created.

Now click the Plan, click Change Access and click Public.

Confirm that you want to make the plan public.

Click Ok when the process of publication finishes.

That's all for today. We have all the components operative in order to provide services in our Private Cloud. Now, with the Plan published, a customer will be able to create an user and add it to the plan, after that, create virtual machines. In the next and last post about Windows Azure Pack deployment, I will go through these steps from the Tenant portal.

See you soon!
