To work with Alteryx Server on Azure, you will need:
Select a Windows Server version and VM size that meets or exceeds the system requirements for Alteryx Server. Take a look at Azure’s VM size table to see what size best fits your needs.Make sure to consider price vs. performance. Larger VMs perform better but cost more.
1. Log in to the Azure portal.
2. Click on the Newbutton in the top left.
3. Click on Virtual Machines
4. Choose a version of Windows Server. SelectWindows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter if you don’t have a preference.
5. At the bottom of the page, click the Create button.
6. Fill out the required information in theBasicssection of the Create Virtual Machine pane.Click the OKbutton at the bottom to move on after you’ve filled out the required fields.
Name: A name for your VM.
User name: A user that will have the ability to RDP into the VM.
Password: The password for the above user.
Subscription: If you have multiple subscriptions, choose which subscription to put the VM in.
Resource group: Resource groups help group together related VMs. Either create a new resource group or place the new server into an existing group of similar resources.
Location: Where you’d like the server to be placed. You should select a location that will be closest to your users for optimum performance.
7. In the Sizesection, choose a size that meets the tech specs for Alteryx Server. When ready, click the Select button at the bottom.
8. In the Settingssection, configure the various settings for how you’d like to configure the VM. Generally, you’ll want to leave the defaults in place. For Availability Setselect None. Click the OKbutton at the bottom when done.
9. Review the VM settings in the Summarypane and make sure everything looks correct. Click the OKbutton at the bottom when ready.
10. Click on the VM once it’s been deployed. Click Settings > Network Interfaces > $INTERFACE > Network security group > Inbound security rules > Addto start adding a new rule to the security group.
11. Add a rule for HTTP access. This will allow installations of Alteryx Designer to talk to the Alteryx Server VM. Give the rule a name and change the Protocolto TCP. It is highlyrecommended to change the Sourcesetting to be locked down to an IP address or an IP range that you control. When finished, click the OKbutton. Add more access rules as needed for any other IP addresses or IP ranges.
Installing Alteryx Server in Azure is similar to installing on any other server.
Note: If you plan on using a Gallery with Windows authentication, you’ll need to set up Active Directory in Azure.For more information, see Install a replica Active Directory domain controller in an Azure virtual network in the Azure documentation.
Hi Tara,
does Alteryx Server support Azure Active Directory?
Also looking for support for Azure AD.
Hi @TaraM ,
Is there a similar article for Alteryx Server on AWS? I tried to search for it but couldn't find it.
Thanks!
@TaraM
Have you tried the Alteryx email notification in Azure?
Any guidance in that direction will be appreciated.
Best regards.
@sameerpremji try this link to download an AWS document
@CarlDi You forgot to provide the link.
Was anyone successful with installation of Alteryx Server on Azure VM per this direction?
