With workload security for Azure, Plerion deploys appliances into your Azure subscriptions to scan workloads for vulnerabilities. Before you enable the integration, you must ensure the following prerequisites are met.

​
Allow plerion-cwpp-* in naming policies

If your Azure environment enforces a Naming Policy, you must permit the plerion-cwpp-* pattern. Plerion resources created in customer subscriptions always start with this prefix. Learn more in the Azure naming overview.

​
Increase quota for regional cores

Plerion appliances use Standard D2s v3 VMs. Each consumes 2 vCPUs, and up to 10 appliances may run in a single region. You must reserve a minimum of 20 cores per region (40 recommended for growth). Without this quota, appliance deployment will fail. Increase both Total Regional vCPUs and Standard DSv3 Family vCPUs:
1

Go to your subscription in the Azure portal

From the left menu, select Subscriptions and choose the subscription to update.
2

Open Usage + quotas

From the left menu, select Usage + quotas and choose the target region.

Request a quota increase for Total Regional vCPUs

  • Set to at least 20 (recommended 40).
  • Click Submit and wait for approval.
4

Request a quota increase for Standard DSv3 Family vCPUs

  • Set to at least 20 (recommended 40).
  • Click Submit and wait for approval.
Quota increases are required in every region where Azure CWPP appliances will be deployed.

​
Increase quota for regional public IP addresses

Each appliance requires outbound internet access via a public IP. Up to 10 appliances may run in a region, so you must reserve at least 10 public IP addresses per region (20 recommended for growth). Without this quota, deployment will fail.
