Overview


There are a variety of ways to deploy Yellowfin on Azure. The most common are:

  • Download and install the Yellowfin installer, as you would do for an on-premises installation;
  • Install Yellowfin within one or more containers that you've already set up on Azure; and,
  • Try Yellowfin for free with a pre-installed version of Yellowfin for Azure (via Marketplace).


Option 1: Download and install the Yellowfin installer

If you decide to install Yellowfin independently on AWS, you can use our existing on-premises installer and follow the steps outlined here in our Install on Premises section.

Option 2: Install Yellowfin in a container on Azure

For containerized deployments, see our dedicated section — Install in a Container.


Option 3: Try the pre-installed version of Yellowfin for Azure

You are now able to set up an instance of Yellowfin for Azure quickly and easily, aiding in evaluation setup. This offer includes:


  • Ready to go Azure deployment: Yellowfin with all of its tutorial content to demonstrate reports, dashboards, and storyboards.
  • Free 1 Year licence for 3 users: the licence is designed to allow you to full evaluate the system, allowing you to buy once you've ticked all the boxes.

For more information, take a look at the the a Azure Marketplace page: https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/yellowfininternationalptyltd1616363974066.yellowfin-for-azure-byol-v2?tab=Overview
