Create a site in Azure Operator Service Manager

  • Article

In this how-to guide, you learn how to create a site. A site refers to a specific location, which can be either a single Azure region (a data center location within the Azure cloud) or an on-premises facility, associated with the instantiation and management of network services.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure you can sign in to the Azure portal using an account with access to the active subscription.
  • It's important to receive guidance from the designer regarding the specific NFVIs (Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure) to incorporate into your site.

Create site

  1. Sign into the Azure portal.

  2. Search for Sites then select Create.

  3. On the Basics tab, enter the Subscription, Resource group, Name and Region. You can accept the default values for the remaining settings.
