Installation of the filtering node from DEB or RPM packages on Azure

This quick guide provides the steps to install the filtering node from the source packages on a separate Azure instance. By following this guide, you will create an instance from the supported operating system image and install the Wallarm filtering node on this operating system.

The instructions limitations

These instructions do not cover the configuration of load balancing and node autoscaling. If setting up these components yourself, we recommend that you review the Azure instructions.

Requirements

  • Active Azure subscription

  • Access to the account with the Administrator role in Wallarm Console for the US Cloud or EU Cloud
