Deploying Services on the Platform

The deployment feature on our platform allows providers and customers to initiate the deployment of various services, such as Microsoft 365 Backup. This process involves selecting the target account, choosing the service to deploy, providing necessary credentials, and ultimately creating new resources under the chosen account.

This documentation provides an overview of the deployment process on our platform, using Microsoft 365 Exchange Mailbox Backup as a specific example. It also includes technical details about Azure application access to ensure understanding of the process for our users.

General Deployment Process​

The deployment process is designed to follow a standardized procedure. Each service that supports deployment can do so based on a deployment specification. This means that the options you encounter during a deployment may vary depending on the specific needs of the service.

Steps to deploy a service as a Provider​

  1. Navigate to the Deploy menu to initiate the deployment process.
  2. In the Select account step, choose the desired account or customer for deployment, and then click Next.

    This step is exclusive to providers who have access to multiple accounts. You can also opt for yourself.

  3. Choose the specific service(s) you wish to deploy and proceed by clicking Next.
  4. Depending on the service you've selected, provide the necessary information required for deployment, and then click Next.

    This step may be broken down into multiple stages, depending on what you're deploying. Refer to the examples below for more detailed information.

  5. Once the deployment process is finished, we will generate new resources or configurations based on the selected service.

  2. In the Select account step, choose the customer you plan to use for deployment, and then hit Next.
  3. Opt for Exchange Online and continue by clicking Next.
  4. Provide the necessary information for deployment:

    3. Consent Access for Azure Application: To enable the backup process, grant access to an Azure application. This application requires access to perform the backup operation securely.
  5. To proceed, simply click Next.
  6. Once the deployment process is completed, a new Target will be generated for the Exchange Online service.
