Start Guide

To get started with managing your Azure serverless entities with Serverless360, the following should be configured:

01. Selecting the Authentication Mode

Serverless360 now offers options in the authentication.

• Active Directory
• Email (Username and Password)
  The decision on authentication mode can be made at the time of initial sign up

02. Associating Service Principals

Any 3rd party software like Serverless360 or any custom application for that matter, will need authorization credentials to gain access to Azure services. Serverless360 will use Service Principal, an app registered in the Azure Active Directory, with contributor access on the Azure Resource Groups or individual resources like Service Bus Namespaces, Logic Apps, Functions etc.

How to create a Service Principal and associate it with Serverless360

02. Associating Namespaces

In case of the requirement from Serverless360 is limited to managing and monitoring Service Bus, Event Hubs or Relays, the alternate option to associate the resources is using namespace connection string with Manage claims.
However the limitation here is Data Monitoring cannot be performed on Service Bus Queues or Topics associated using namespace connectionstring.

If the intention is to manage only Namespaces and entities inside it, Associating Service Principals step can be skipped.

03. Composite Applications

Composite Application is a logical entity that can be used to group Azure Resources like Queues, Topics, Relays, Event Hubs, Logic Apps, Azure Functions, Event Grids, Storage Accounts and API EndPoints that constitute a Line of Business Application in the Integration Solution Architecture. These resources can be from different Azure Subscriptions and namespaces. Entities have to be associated to a Compostie Application to perform operations and monitoring.

Once the above configuration is completed, the application is all set . Please refer how to add entities to your Composite Application.

Not Mandatory

The following configurations are not mandatory to get started. They can be done as required.

Change Plan

Any new account will have a trial period during which access to all features are provided with limitation to number of entities that can be associated. Based on the requirement, plan can be changed and entities and activities can be purchased. Serverless360 supports payment through Credit Cards through a certified payment gateway Stripe. Below is an illustration on changing plan through the portal.

Alternately, payment can be done through banks by raising PO and Invoicing. Please contact our Sales team through contact@serverless360.com
