Set Up Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure is a cloud service provider that offers hosting of many services such as databases, API, and web servers. These instructions are intended as a general guide for remote access. With the target services setup such as databases, storage and web applications, you can simply add authorized users via email address in the Remote.It application. This works well with your remote workers and contractors by eliminating the need for IP allow lists to be maintained. It also works on CGNAT connections where your team may be connected via a cellular or satellite carrier where IP addresses are not known or are transient.

Select the service you would like to create a Remote.It connection and click "Connect". You can now use this connection information in the application such as PG Admin, MySQL Workbench, or in a conf file for a local development app. When you are done with the connection, click "Stop Connection".
