In order to deploy a Cryptographic Security Platform Compliance Manager node in a Microsoft Azure environment, you need to:
- Deploy a Cryptographic Security Platform Compliance Manager virtual machine (VM) resource from the Azure Marketplace. For details, see Deploying a Cryptographic Security Platform Compliance Manager Node in Azure.
Use SSH to configure the new Cryptographic Security Platform Compliance Manager node. How you do this depends on whether this is the first Cryptographic Security Platform Compliance Manager node in the cluster or if you are adding this node to an existing Cryptographic Security Platform Compliance Manager cluster.
- If this is the first node in the cluster, configure the node and initialize the Cryptographic Security Platform Compliance Manager webGUI. For details, see Configuring the First Node in Azure.
- If you are adding this node to an existing Cryptographic Security Platform Compliance Manager cluster, configure the node and authenticate it with the existing cluster. For details, see Configuring Additional Compliance Manager Nodes in Azure.
