Deploy Tenable Core in Microsoft Azure via the Portal

It is typically simplest to create and configure Tenable Core + Tenable Nessus using the Microsoft Azure portal.

In some cases, you may prefer to use the Microsoft Azure command line interface (CLI) to deploy Tenable Core in Azure, as described in Deploy Tenable Core in Microsoft Azure via the CLI.

Before you begin:

• Confirm your environment will support your intended use of the instance, as described in  System and License Requirements.

• Confirm your internet and port access will support your intended use of the instance, as described in Access Requirements.

To deploy a Tenable Core + Tenable Nessus virtual machine via the Azure portal:

1. Log in to the Microsoft Azure portal. For more information, see the Microsoft Azure Documentation.

2. Create a new resource by searching for the TenableCore Nessus template.

3. Configure all desired options.

   Note: If you want Tenable Core + Tenable Nessus  to link automatically to Tenable Vulnerability Management on first boot, enter the following in the advanced settings using the custom data box:

   #cloud-config

   runcmd:

   # Link Nessus to tenable.io

     -

       - /opt/nessus/sbin/nessuscli

       - managed

       - link

       - --key "your Tenable Vulnerability Management linking key"

       - "--cloud"

4. Start the virtual machine deployment.

   Azure begins the virtual machine deployment. Azure displays a success message when finished.

What to do next:

• Continue getting started with Tenable Core + Tenable Nessus, as described in Get Started.
