CloudMonix makes its debut in the Azure Marketplace!
Effective immediately, Azure customers can sign up and purchase CloudMonix monitoring and automation platform thru the Azure Marketplace. Subscribing to CloudMonix thru the Marketplace gives users ability to log into CloudMonix directly thru the Azure portal. Teams will also appreciate simplified billing experience, as payments for CloudMonix will be handled by Microsoft along side their Azure payments.
Regretfully, existing customers cannot migrate their accounts to the Marketplace.
To subscribe to CloudMonix via Azure Marketplace, users will need to add a new resource in Azure portal and search for CloudMonix. Picking the “Free” plan by default gives users a 14-day trial to all of the features of the product (basically the Ultimate version).
After successful provisioning of CloudMonix in Azure portal, users will need to click on the Manage hyperlink and complete the registration. Subsequent clicks on the Manage hyperlink will auto-login into CloudMonix
thank you for this ..such a great step
This is great. For existing customers, what is the simplest migration path? Is there a way to script the creation of any of our existing monitors/alerts/etc. and partially automate this, or should we just create a free trial within Azure and recreate all the objects from our existing subscription manually?
Unfortunately the only option is the latter one. Also, ensure that the Azure Marketplace has comparable plans that fits number of your resources. Azure Marketplace (at this time) does not support billing by variable usage, so you’ll need to fit into the predefined usage allocations
If you’re dealing with auto-scaling automation, ensure that only one CloudMonix account is in charge of auto-scaling at a time, so that there is no conflict between two different CloudMonix accounts
Lastly, when registering for CloudMonix trial thru Marketplace, do use a different email/username than one already specified by your current account
