This technical note explains how to deploy a Stormshield Network Security Elastic Virtual Appliance (EVA) instance equipped with two network interfaces — a public (unprotected) interface and a private (protected) interface — on a Microsoft Azure hosting platform.
You will also find examples of filter and NAT rules to protect web servers hosted on the firewall's private network.
Obtaining the firewall license
Once the deployment is complete, your EVA will require a software license in order to run.
Get in touch with your Stormshield distributor to order the license for your EVA. If you do not already have a Stormshield distributor, use our search engine to locate one close to where you are.
