Preparing Your Azure Subscription for Zapper Edge MFT Deployment

What?

Before deploying Zapper Edge MFT in your subscription, a one-time setup is required.
This involves registering specific Microsoft Azure Resource Providers (e.g., Key Vault, PostgreSQL, Networking) that the solution depends on.

Why?

Azure does not auto-enable every resource provider.
If these are not registered:

• Deployment will fail (e.g., MissingSubscriptionRegistration).

• Features like Key Vault, networking, and managed identity won’t work.

Registering providers:

• Is standard Azure practice (not Zapper-specific).

• Is safe — it only enables services at the subscription level.

• Is done once.

How?

Run the Bootstrap Script

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -euo pipefail

# usage: ./bootstrap.sh "<SUBSCRIPTION_ID_OR_NAME>"

az account set --subscription "$1"

providers=(

    Microsoft.Solutions

    Microsoft.KeyVault

    Microsoft.Resources

    Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL

    Microsoft.Web

    Microsoft.ContainerRegistry

    Microsoft.ManagedIdentity

    Microsoft.Network

    Microsoft.Compute

    Microsoft.Storage

    Microsoft.OperationalInsights

    Microsoft.Insights

    Microsoft.App

    Microsoft.EventGrid

)

for rp in "${providers[@]}"; do

    state=$(az provider show -n "$rp" --query registrationState -o tsv 2>/dev/null || echo "NotRegistered")

if [ "$state" != "Registered" ]; then

    echo "Registering $rp ..."

    az provider register -n "$rp"

  else

    echo "$rp already Registered"

fi

done

echo "All providers registered."

Steps For You?

• Log in: az login

• Save the script as bootstrap.sh

• Make it executable: chmod +x bootstrap.sh

• Run: ./bootstrap.sh "<SUBSCRIPTION_ID_OR_NAME>"

Once providers are registered, you’re ready to deploy Zapper Edge MFT.
