The steps below will show how to create a Lustre Cluster on Microsoft'a Azure infrastructure. It will start with a Lustre template in the Azure marketplace.
You will need an Azure account.
Login to your account and go to the dashboard. You can get to the dashboard from anywhere by clicking on the blue "Microsoft Azure" in the upper left corner of the GUI.
To get started click on "New" to get ready to start deployments of a new instance of Lustre
In the search box that appears, type "lustre" and hit return. For some reason the completions that start to show up do not work as expected
choose the version ending in "GS" and choose "create". This will open the GUI to fill out the Lustre template.
In the screen that appears you will fill out the fields in the template.
Lustre Prefix Name - this will be prepended to the names of the lustre VM hosts. For example here it is specified as ldemo so our MGS node will be ldemomgs
