The Micetro offering in the Azure Marketplace provides a simple wizard for deployment of the necessary components to get started. The diagram below depicts the steps needed to perform the deployment. For details about each step in the process, refer to Setting up Micetro in Azure.
The following list includes the components that are installed and a description of their main functions. For more information, refer to Architecture.
| Micetro Central | The main Micetro component. It also serves as the metadata storage engine, containing things such as zone history logs, user accounts and permissions, etc. You must have one copy on a server somewhere. It does not need to be installed on a DNS server. |
| Micetro DNS Agent | The DNS server agent. It usually sits on each DNS server machine and manages the DNS service on your behalf. In the case of cloud DNS services providers, a DNS agent should be installed on the same machine as the Micetro Central. |
| Micetro DHCP Agent | The DHCP server agent. It sits on each DHCP server machine (or, in case of the MS DHCP agent, on any machine in the network) and manages the DHCP service on your behalf. |
| Micetro Web Application | The Web Application includes most day-to-day actions needed for DDI management. |
| Azure SQL Server | The database backend for the Micetro Central. Micetro will preform all the necessary setup for the database to be ready for use |
Important: The Azure Marketplace offering comes with
60-day trial keys for all Micetro components. If you
