To deploy an instance of Azure VMware Solutions, an administrator must take the following two

steps:

Create a support request with Microsoft Azure Support to create a host quota. This is required

because Azure VMware Solution hosts are dedicated bare-metal servers that are not shared with

other customers1. The host quota determines the number and size of hosts that can be provisioned

in a subscription1. The host quota can be requested for an eligible Azure plan, such as Microsoft

Enterprise Agreement or Cloud Solution Provider2.

Deploy and configure Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute. This is required because Azure VMware Solution

uses ExpressRoute to connect the private cloud to the Azure virtual network and the on-premises

network3. ExpressRoute provides a secure, high-bandwidth, and low-latency connection that

enables seamless workload migration and hybrid cloud scenarios3. The administrator must deploy

and configure an ExpressRoute circuit, a virtual network gateway, and a virtual

network3. Reference: 1: Deploy and configure Azure VMware Solution, 2: Plan the Azure VMware
