This example procedure demonstrates creating a basic Microsoft Azure cloud account.
The example in this section expands on the basic WordPress end-to-end use case to use a vCenter cloud account in the needed infrastructure for a blueprint and deployment.
Azure cloud accounts do not require a cloud proxy.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have the required user role. See What are the Cloud Assembly user roles.
