Installing and configuring the Teams Connector in Azure

No changes should be made to any Pexip Teams Connector or the provided deployment scripts (other than as described within this documentation for installing and maintaining your deployment) unless directed to do so by Pexip support. This includes (but is not limited to) any changes to the operating system or the installation of any third-party code/applications. You must also ensure that the Teams Connector resource groups are exempt from any configured Azure policies during installation or redeployment. If you encounter any issues, please contact your Pexip authorized support representative.

Tutorials

Pexip has produced a set of tutorial videos that describe and demonstrate the deployment process. See this YouTube playlist (you may need to right-click and select Open link in new tab).

 

Deployment environment

You can deploy Teams Connectors in the standard Azure commercial cloud, or where necessary for specific compliance requirements, in the Azure US Government environment.

Note that you can deploy Teams Connectors in Azure US Government in combination with a commercial Teams environment or a Teams GCC environment. But, for Teams GCC High environments, Teams Connectors must be deployed in Azure US Government.

The Teams Connector must be hosted in the Arizona or Texas Azure regions for GCC High. The Virginia Azure region does not support the hosting of the Teams Connector for GCC High.

Most of the deployment processes are the same for either Azure environment, but there are some extra steps and minor differences when deploying in a US Government environment. Where there are variances indicated within this documentation you should either follow the standard deployment instructions (for commercial Azure) or the GCC High / Azure US Government Cloud deployment instructions.

Next steps

You must now complete the configuration within Pexip Infinity as described in Configuring Pexip Infinity as a Microsoft Teams gateway.
