The Anbox Cloud Appliance is not yet available from the Azure Marketplace. However, you can install the Anbox Cloud Appliance snap on an Azure machine.

The following instructions guide you through all relevant steps to deploy the Anbox Cloud Appliance on Azure. For additional information, see the [Microsoft documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/virtual-machines/) about creating virtual machines in Azure.
## Deploy using a quickstart template
<!-- wokeignore:rule=master -->
An [Azure quickstart template](https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/quickstarts/canonical/anbox) is available for deploying the Anbox Cloud Appliance on Azure. The template automatically deploys and configures the necessary settings for the Anbox Cloud Appliance.

1. [Initialise the appliance](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/install-the-anbox-cloud-appliance-on-a-dedicated-machine/22681#initialise-the-appliance-6)
1. [Register your Ubuntu SSO account with the appliance dashboard](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/install-the-anbox-cloud-appliance-on-a-dedicated-machine/22681#register-with-the-dashboard-9).

[note type="information" status="Tip"]The output from the template will contain the public IP address of the VM that is required to complete this step.[/note]
