vCenter Server Appliance on Azure

[mcczech]

Hi folks,

I wanted to know if it is possible (and supported) to deploy a VCSA on Azure. If not I need to know if it is possible for a Windows based vCenter.

Thanks in advance

What is the use case, where the managed ESXi hosts will be ?

I think the customised VCSA will not fit on Azure, but you can install vCenter server on a Windows Azure VM.

hi Macel,

its recommended to dploy VCSA or windows vCenter at the same location where the ESXi hosts are deployed. vCenter to ESXi connection over WAN will work fine, but there are risks involved.

The vCenter features like FT, vSPhere HA are sensitive on network connectivity between vCenter and ESXi.
