Introduction
Before deploying Tableau Server on Microsoft Azure, you must have the following:
A Microsoft Azure subscription. If you don't already have a subscription, you can sign up for a free trial on the Microsoft Azure Free Trial website.
A Tableau Server licence.
For a standalone Tableau Server deployment, you must contact sales for a product key.
For a cluster-based deployment, you need a user-based licence (which covers all authorised users of Tableau Server), a core-based licence (with a minimum of 16 cores) or a Tableau Server subscription licence. To obtain a product key, contact sales.
For more information about Tableau Server licensing options, see Licensing Overview.
A Secure Shell (SSH) client or Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client installed on your computer. If you're connecting from a computer running Microsoft Windows, you'll need to install an SSH client such as PuTTY, or a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client such as xrdp, to connect to your Azure VM running Linux. For more information, see Install and configure Remote Desktop to connect to a Linux VM in Azure at the Microsoft Azure website.
Tableau Server installer. You can download the installer from the Tableau Server Trial Download page.
