Basic Configuration

Get started by configuring the basic parameters required to deploy Sparrow Community Edition on Azure.

Step 1: Select Your Subscription

• Choose the Azure subscription where you'd like to deploy Sparrow.

If you have multiple subscriptions, pick the one with sufficient resource quotas.

Step 2: Resource Group

• Select an existing Resource Group
• Or click Create new to organize related resources together

Naming Tip: Use something like sparrow-rg for clarity.

Step 3: Virtual Machine Name

• Enter a name for your VM, e.g., SparrowVM.

VM names must be unique within the resource group.

Step 4: Choose a Region

Pick an Azure Region close to your users for best performance.
