Download the image from Keysight. Get the official CloudLens vLM image (vhd or qcow2) only from the Keysight software download portal at software.keysight.com. Match the version to your CloudLens and vPB deployment. Do not use an unofficial image.

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/Keysight-Tech/cloudlens-vlm-azure.git
cd cloudlens-vlm-azure
chmod +x *.sh

# download the official vLM image from software.keysight.com, then:
az login
./deploy-cloudlens-vlm-azure.sh

The wizard confirms your cloud and subscription, offers to reuse or build the managed image, asks the VM size, count, admin user, subnet, and access, then creates the VM and waits until the vLM web UI is live and the admin / admin login is verified.

Two ways to run

Interactive wizard recommended

Build the image and create the vLM with friendly prompts.

./deploy-cloudlens-vlm-azure.sh

Non-interactive engine

Build only the managed image, for CI or scripts.

./create-cloudlens-vlm-image-azure.sh \
  --image <image> \
  --resource-group cloudlens-vlm-rg \
  --location eastus2

Azure Government

Azure Government is a separate cloud (AzureUSGovernment) with its own sign-in and endpoints. Switch cloud, sign in, and run the same script:

az cloud set --name AzureUSGovernment && az login
./deploy-cloudlens-vlm-azure.sh --location usgovvirginia

Regions like usgovvirginia and usgovtexas, blob endpoints on blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net, portal at portal.azure.us. No code changes.

Verified

Managed image

The Azure vLM runs today from this exact image path; login verified.

Wizard

Full interactive flow creates a vLM and waits until it is live before finishing.

Portable

Runs on macOS, Linux, and Cloud Shell; Commercial and Government clouds.
