Procedure: Obtaining the SUSE Manager PAYG image on Microsoft Azure provides wrong workflow.

[petersatsuse]

The section for the Azure PAYG install of SUMa does not provide the right workflow

Documentation Update Required

The section should be re-written as the offer is not a virtual machine, so the described workflow will not work.

What does the documentation say now?

. Start by logging into your Azure account at Azure Portal.

. Once logged in, navigate to the Virtual Machines section. This can be found in the dashboard or by using the search bar at the top of the Azure Portal.

. Click on Create a Virtual Machine. Here, you will be asked to fill in details such as the subscription, resource group, and virtual machine name.

. During the creation of a virtual machine there is an option for Image. Select the correct cloud image for your VM.

. If you don’t find the image you need, you can browse the Azure Marketplace. Click on See all images or go to the Marketplace and search for the image you need.

. After selecting your image, continue with the configuration of your virtual machine. Review all settings, and then create your VM.

What change is required?

. Start by logging into your Azure account at Azure Portal.

. After you been logged into the Azure Portal, click Create a resource.

. Enter {SUMA_VERSION} into the search field on the top and press kbd:[RETURN]

You should get a list of offerings and pick one of the {SUMA_VERSION} with 24x7 Support depending on your billing country.

For example, for someone in Germany it would be {SUMA_VERSION} with 24x7 Support (EMEA Orders Only).

Maybe you got aware that the offer shows up as Azure Application and not as Virtual Machine

. Click the text to get the Overview description and then on Plans + Pricing. If this show up to you with a description and plan you had chosen the right offer.

It will bring you to a form similar you may know from creating other Azure resources.

In addition the next section "Procedure: Configuring your SUSE Manager instance" does repeat parts of the above and need to be changed too
