This option describes how to deploy a scale set of virtual appliances with Gateway
Load Balancer. Deploying with Gateway Load Balancer provides a simpler process that
requires very few changes to your existing network environment. Gateway Load
Balancer also adds additional layers of availability which translates to minimal
disruption if a virtual appliance experiences an outage.
The image below shows an example of the traffic flow for this deployment using
Gateway Load Balancer.

ImportantInternet connectivity notice
During the Deploy the Network Security virtual
appliance step, the Network Security virtual appliance is configured
behind a standard internal load balancer. The placement of this load balancer
blocks the outbound internet connectivity by default unless internet
connectivity has been explicitly declared. For this deployment, we recommend
that you add a NAT gateway to the management subnet to allow outbound
connectivity. This option is configured before the Network Security virtual
appliance is deployed.

Set up network environment
To set up your environment you will complete these tasks:
Procedure
What to do next
Before you begin
Set up Azure Monitor before you begin this deployment. Write down the Log
Monitor Workspace ID and Log Monitor Primary Key.
Generate a Trend Micro Cloud One appliance deployment token and review Azure's naming conventions.
Deploy the virtual network and the Network Security virtual appliance
The Network Security virtual appliance is available from the Azure Marketplace as
a public offer. To deploy the Network Security virtual appliance, navigate to
Azure Portal → Marketplace → Trend Micro Cloud One™ – Network
Security.
Manually add virtual appliances if the Azure Marketplace deployment
does not properly register the virtual appliance(s) to Network Security.
Gather the following information before you begin the deployment:
Procedure
- Log into Azure and select Create a resource (this will direct you to the Marketplace).
- Search for Trend Micro Network Security.
- Next to Select a plan, choose Scale Set VM with Gateway Load Balancer in the dropdown menu.
- Click Create.
- Enter the following information in the Basics tab:
- Enter the Trend Micro Cloud One appliance deployment token
- If selected, create a public user key (SSH key)
- Select the following information in the Networking tab:
- Select New Inspection VNet
- Select the subnets for the new Inspection VNet
- For NAT Gateway, choose Create new to automatically create a new NAT gateway when you deploy the virtual appliance, choose Select existing if you already manually created a NAT gateway, or choose Ignore if your Management subnet already has internet connectivity.
- Enter or select the following information in the Advanced tab:
-
(Suggested) Keep the Boot diagnostics setting enabled
-
Select your boot diagnostic account, or create a new one
-
- Click Review + Create → Deploy.
Connect the Gateway Load Balancer to the public load balancer
Use the following steps to connect your existing public load balancer to the
Gateway Load Balancer that was created when you deployed the Network Security
virtual appliance from the Marketplace.
