After you review the requirements and make sure that your Microsoft Azure environment is configured as needed, you can deploy the USM Anywhere Sensor for Azure. LevelBlue provides the virtual machine (VM) template for the sensor and makes it available through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace for easy deployment.
Note: Azure limits the availability of the Azure Marketplace to customers according to country. On the Marketplace FAQs page, the "Azure Marketplace for Customers" section provides a current list of supported countries.
