Quickstart: Create a Containerized Network Functions site with Nginx

This article helps you create a Containerized Network Functions (CNF) site using the Azure portal. A site is the collection of assets that represent one or more instances of nodes in a network service that should be discussed and managed in a similar manner.

A site can represent:

  • A physical location such as DC or rack(s).
  • A node in the network that needs to be upgraded separately (early or late) vs other nodes.
  • Resources serving particular class of audience.

Sites can be within a single Azure region or an on-premises location. If collocated, they can span multiple NFVIs (such as multiple K8s clusters in a single Azure region).

Prerequisites

Create a site

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

  2. Select Create a resource.

  3. Search for Sites, then select Create.

  4. On the Basics tab, enter or select your Subscription, Resource group, and the Name and Region of your instance.

    [!NOTE] The site must be located in the same region as the prerequisite resources.

  5. Add the Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVIs).

    Setting Value
    NFVI Name Enter nginx_NFVI1.
    NFVI Type Select Azure Arc Kubernetes.
    Custom Location ID Select your custom location that you created in the previous guide.

    [!NOTE] This example features a single Network Function Virtual Infrastructure (NFVI) named nginx_NFVI1. If you modified the nsd_name in the input.json file while publishing the NSD, the NFVI name should be <nsd_name>_NFVI1. Ensure that the NFVI type is set to Azure Core and that the NFVI location matches the location of the prerequisite resources.

  6. Select Review + create, then select Create.
