Although Microsoft provides Azure Stack as an integrated solution and everything comes pre-installed, you will need to setup your development/testing environment(s). The production environment is mainly set up in the same way but has missing components like BGPNAT- and console-VM but it works the same way like the single host PoC does.

This is why we will need to have a chapter where we will have to talk about deployment. In detail, we will talk about:

• Disconnected versus connected scenario
• Deploying Azure Stack development toolkit
• Deploying the multi-node Azure Stack environment
• Troubleshooting Azure Stack installations
• Monitoring Azure Stack installations
• Connecting Microsoft Azure Stack
• Defining Azure role based access
