Overview

The Microsoft Azure ARM Template allows Microsoft's Azure users to deploy a JFrog Container Registry with a few keystrokes. The ARM template is built in conjunction with Azure engineers to ensure best practices during deployment.

Prerequisites

• An active Azure subscription
• Spare vCPUs available in your region in Azure
• A domain name with corresponding SSL Certificate
