Introduction

The Aviatrix cloud network solution consists of two components, the Controller and Gateways, both of which are Azure VMs (Virtual Machines). Gateways are launched from the Controller console to specific VNets. This guide helps you launch the Controller VM in Azure.

Follow the instructions to also subscribe to Aviatrix Azure images described in this guide:

These instructions apply generally to both Azure commercial and Azure Government clouds for deploying an Aviatrix Controller. Note that some screenshots may show regions that are only available for commercial Azure accounts. Commercial Azure offers multiple regions worldwide while Azure Government offers four US regions: (US) USGov Virginia, (US) UsGov Arizona, (US) UsGov Iowa, and (US) UsGov.
