This is an series of post to build Blockchain solutions with Azure Blockchain Workbench. Before reading this post, please go through Overview of Azure Blockchain Workbench .
Step by step guide Build and Deploy Blockchain solution with Ethereum
- Step 1: Configure Active Directory
- Step 2: Provision Azure Blockchain Workbench components
- Step 3: Write Smart Contract for Asset Transfer DApp with Solidity
- Step 4: Deploy Asset Transfer application
In this post we will work on Step 2: Provision Azure Blockchain Workbench
Steps to provision Azure Blockchain Workbench
- Search for Azure Blockchain Workbench
- Basic configuration settings
- Enter Application ID & Application Key
- Select Nodes, Networks, VM Size
- Enable Monitoring
- Deploy Workbench
- Deployment Succeeded and Copy Web URL
- Configure Reply URL
- Configure Active Directory user
- Configure user to Blockchain API
- Provide Administer permission
- Make user as Owner
- Blockchain Workbench is deployed & Verify
Following Azure services being provisioned on default.
- 1 App Service Plan (Standard)
- 1 Application Insights
- 1 Event Grid Topic
- 2 Azure Key Vaults
- 1 Service Bus Namespace
- 2 SQL Databases (Standard S0)
- 2 Azure Storage accounts (Standard LRS)
- 2 Virtual Machine scale sets (ledger nodes and workbench microservices)
- 2 Virtual Network resource groups Optional: Azure Monitor
1. Search for Azure Blockchain Workbench
2. Basic configuration settings
3. Enter Application ID & Application Key
Enter Application ID & Application Key which we have copied from previous post
4. Select Nodes, Networks, VM Size
5. Enable Monitoring
6. Deploy Workbench 
7. Deployment Succeeded and Copy below details
