How to: Provision an Azure Fluid Relay service

  • Article

Before you can connect your app to an Azure Fluid Relay, you must provision an Azure Fluid Relay server resource in your Azure account. This article walks through the steps to get your Azure Fluid Relay service provisioned and ready to use.

Prerequisites

To create an Azure Fluid Relay resource, you must have an Azure account.

Create a resource group

A resource group is a logical collection of Azure resources. All resources are deployed and managed in a resource group. To create a resource group:

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

  2. In the left navigation, select Resource groups. Then select Add.

  4. Type a unique name for the resource group. The system immediately checks to see if the name is available in the currently selected Azure subscription.

  5. Select a region for the resource group.

  6. Select Review + Create.

  7. On the Review + Create page, select Create.

Create a Fluid Relay resource

Each Azure Fluid Relay server resource provides a tenant for you to use in your Fluid application. Within that tenant, you can create many containers/sessions. To create a Fluid Relay in your resource group using the portal:

  1. In the Azure portal, and select Create a resource at the top left of the screen.

  2. Search for 'Fluid'
