Getting Started with Mendix on Azure

Introduction

Before you can deploy your Mendix app on Azure, you must plan and complete a number of pre-implementation tasks.

Prerequisites

To adopt Mendix on Azure, you need to have the following:

• A Mendix account; Mendix Studio Pro 10.10 or newer is required
• As an optional best practice, add multiple cluster manager to your clusters
• An Azure account with the following permissions:
  • Permission to grant admin consent on the Mendix on Azure portal app registration
  • Owner role assigned on the target subscription

{
    "properties": {
        "roleName": "Mendix on Azure Operator",
        "description": "",
        "assignableScopes": [
            "/subscriptions/<yoursubscriptionid>"
    ],
    "permissions": [
        {
            "actions": [
            "*/register/action",
            "Microsoft.Solutions/applications/*",
            "Microsoft.Solutions/locations/operationstatuses/*",
            "Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups/*",
            "Microsoft.Resources/deployments/*",
            "Microsoft.Monitor/accounts/*",
            "Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write",
            "Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/read"
        ],
        "notActions": [],
        "dataActions": [],
        "notDataActions": []
        }
    ]
     }
}

After you obtain an Azure subscription, you can find your Subsciption ID and provide this information to the Mendix representative.

Next Steps

Once all the prerequisites are met, you will be granted access to the Mendix on Azure offering in Azure Marketplace. You must use this listing to purchase and deploy to a resource group of your choice.

After purchasing the offering, you can initialize your first Mendix on Azure cluster by following the installation instructions.

Licensing

Mendix on Azure is available for purchase from the the Azure Marketplace. Connecting to Azure services may also include additional cost. For more information, refer to Azure documentation.

For production environments, you also need a runtime license for your Mendix app. For more information, refer to Licensing Apps. The Operator license is applied automatically when using Mendix on Azure.
