IMPORTANT NOTES/LIMITATIONS
- AWS does not support VM Import for Ubuntu 20.04. Till the time this is supported by AWS, a VA in AWS will need to be deployed by creating an AMI from a snapshot and then attaching the dynamic disk as a separate volume. Instructions for the same are captured here.
- When launching a Virtual Appliance on Azure via the Azure UI or CLI (as documented here), any password provided in the Azure UI or CLI will be ignored, and the VA will be launched with the default password. The default password for your VA can be seen on the Sites and Active Directory page of the Umbrella dashboard.
