Set up BYO-Azure

Cameyo needs Microsoft Azure client access to create virtual machines, to turn them on and off as needed, providing substantial cost savings.

1. Sign in to your Azure portal.
2. Navigate to Microsoft Entra ID and click Add > App registration.
3. Name the application, for example, Cameyo VAD.
4. For Supported account types, select Accounts in this organizational directory only.

   1. Application client ID
   2. Directory tenant ID
8. Navigate to Manage > Certificates & secrets. 
9. Click + New client secret.
10. Enter a description for the client secret and set an expiration date.

    You need to update the Cameyo BYO-Azure configuration page when the client secret expires

11. Click Add.
12. Make a note of the information in the Value column. (This your clientSecret). 
    The Value will only be displayed once. If you do not make a note of it when it displays on screen, you will need to generate a new one (and delete the old one).

1. In the Azure portal, open Subscriptions page.
2. Click on the subscription you plan to associate with this app, and make a note of the Subscription ID. (This your subscriptionID)
3. Click Access control (IAM).

6. Click Next.
7. For Assign access to, select User, group or service principal. 
8. Click Select members.
9. Search for and select the name of the application you've just created above, for example, Cameyo VAD.

1. In the Azure portal, open Storage accounts.
2. Click Create.
3. In the Subscription drop-down, choose your subscription, and assign an existing Resource group or create a new one.
4. Name the Storage account; this has to be unique across Azure. (This is your storageAccount.)
5. For Region, select the same region as your Cameyo server.
6. Click Next to navigate to the Networking tab.
7. For Public network access, select Enable.
8. For Public network access scope, select Enable from all networks. This allows you to manage the storage account from the Cameyo Admin console.
9. Click Review + Create.
10. If validation passes, Click Create.
11. Once your storage account is created, navigate to Security + networking > Access keys.
12. Click Show for one of the keys listed (this is your storageKey).

2. Enter your Azure environment details collected in the previous steps.
3. Click Submit.
4. Complete the tasks in Create a server.

Cloud servers have an assigned performance level (Capacity). 

1. Navigate to Servers  . Your new server should be listed.

2. Select Details > Information > Capacity.
    

   Level	Azure Type	Virtual CPUs	Memory
   6	Standard_D2d_v4	1	8 GB
   7	Standard_D2d_v4	2	8 GB
   8	Standard_D4d_v4	4	16 GB
   9	Standard_D8d_v4	8	32 GB
   10	Standard_D16d_v4	16	64 GB

3. From the drop-down, select the required level for your server.

    

   Things to consider:

   • Level 7 is the default level, used for typical servers used for line-of-business applications, such as Office, ERP, and other non-taxing applications.
   • Level 8 is the typical server level for more resource-intensive applications such as Adobe Photoshop. 
   • Level 9 is the typical server level for servers running 3D applications like AutoCAD.
4. Click Set.
5. Click Save.

Set up custom VPC and subnetworks

You can configure custom VPC and subnets for newly-created Azure instances.

Option 1: using PowerTags

Custom VNETs and subnets can be specified for newly-created machines using the special PowerTags !CLOUDVPC and optionally !CLOUDSUBNETS.

For example:

!CLOUDVPC=/subscriptions/12345678-abcd-4567-89ab-123456abcdef/resourceGroups/mycompany-prod/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/mycompany-prod-vnet
!CLOUDSUBNETS=prod-europe

Option 2: using BYO-Azure configuration

To specify a custom VNET and/or subnet for your Cameyo BYO-Azure project, proceed as following:

1. Navigate to your Cameyo BYO-Azure page: https://online.cameyo.com/byo-azure 
2. Under Virtual Network enter:
   • the full VNET path
   • only the name of the subnet within the VNET above

For example:

VNET: /subscriptions/12345678-abcd-4567-89ab-123456abcdef/resourceGroups/mycompany-prod/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/mycompany-prod-vnet
Subnets: prod-europe
