In this how-to guide, you learn how to create a site. A site refers to a specific location, which can be either a single Azure region (a data center location within the Azure cloud) or an on-premises facility, associated with the instantiation and management of network services.
- Ensure you can sign in to the Azure portal using an account with access to the active subscription.
- It's important to receive guidance from the designer regarding the specific NFVIs (Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure) to incorporate into your site.
-
Sign into the Azure portal.
-
Search for Sites then select Create.
-
On the Basics tab, enter the Subscription, Resource group, Name and Region. You can accept the default values for the remaining settings.
