General Requirements
Everything you need to deploy Genuz
Genuz is a cloud based web application that is installed and deployed directly to your Microsoft Azure Environment. In order to deploy Genuz the following Azure Services are required.
Good To Know: The Genuz team will properly install and configure all required Azure resources along with the application in your Azure Resource Group, only as it is properly enabled to do so. But if you prefer, or if it's your organization's policy, your team can install these resources themselves.
Azure Services Required
Azure Container Service
Azure Container Service (ACS) provides a way to simplify the creation, configuration, and management of a cluster of virtual machines that are preconfigured to run containerized applications. It allows you to deploy the Genuz application instance within your Azure environment. We recommend a consumption plan for moderate production scenarios (It will be free for up to 2 million requests per month). Verify the Microsoft documentation link below and obtain more pricing information in your specific region and scenario.
Azure SQL Database
An Azure SQL Database is required to store the Genuz application configuration, log and audit files. This database is very small and can run on the lowest database tier available in Azure. If your organization does not have an exiting Azure SQL instance, we recommend a single database 'Standard' with '20 DTUs'. For more information on region specific pricing please refer to the Microsoft documentation link below.
Azure Microsoft Entra
Microsoft Entra ID (or formerly called Microsoft Active Directory) is a cloud-based identity and access management service that enable your employees to authenticate in Genuz and provide access to federation user and groups list to grant access in analytics catalog items. If your organization does not have an exiting Azure Microsoft Entra instance, we recommend a Entra ID P2 subscription or higher. For more information on region specific pricing please refer to the Microsoft documentation link below.
Azure Translator
The Reporting Hub is a multi-language application that can be configured into any language. The Azure Translator service is used to complete language translation. There is no cost to this service as the Reporting Hub leverages the free service instance only. This service is required even if you do not plan on using the multi-languages feature.
What if I don't have an Azure Instance?
No Azure? No problem!
All you need to do is follow the link below to set up a Pay As You Go Azure account to get started. Once you have an Azure subscription in place you can proceed with deploying Genuz.
