Install on Azure

Azure parity with the AWS bootstrap — Storage Account + Blob container, Azure AI Search index, user-assigned managed identity. Deploy via Bicep.

Step 1 — Provision

az group create --name rg-pollenix-acme --location eastus

az deployment group create \
  --resource-group rg-pollenix-acme \
  --template-file infra/azure/main.bicep \
  --parameters tenantSlug=acme location=eastus

What gets created (mirrors the AWS shape so the runtime adapter doesn’t care about the cloud):

Resource	Name
Storage Account	`plnx<hash>` (TLS 1.2, AAD-only auth)
Blob container	`pollenix-files`
Azure AI Search service	`srch-pollenix-<slug>`
Search index	`pollenix-rag` (1536-dim, cosine)
Managed identity	`mi-pollenix-<slug>`

Object keys inside the container follow the same users/<uid>/<file> / shared/<drive>/<file> layout as the S3 deployment.

Step 2 — AKS cluster

Pollenix supports Azure Kubernetes Service. Provision a small cluster (2-3 nodes) using your preferred mechanism (Bicep, Terraform, Azure Portal). Wire it to the managed identity from Step 1 via federated credentials.

Step 3 — Deploy

Pollenix’s Helm chart is cloud-agnostic — use the values-prod.yaml overrides, swap the IRSA annotation for an Azure Workload Identity annotation:

serviceAccount:
  annotations:
    azure.workload.identity/client-id: <managed-identity-client-id>

Then:

helm upgrade --install pollenix-core \
  infra/aws/charts/pollenix-core \
  --namespace pollenix --create-namespace \
  --set image.tag=v0.1.0 \
  -f my-values-azure.yaml

Step 4 — Activate your Marketplace subscription

If you bought Pollenix from Azure Marketplace, paste your subscription token in the License activation page to bind the subscription to your tenant.
