Step through the deployment an intranet-only, high availability SharePoint Server farm in Azure with these virtual machines:

  • Two SharePoint front end and distributed cache servers

  • Two SharePoint application and search servers

  • One cluster majority node server

  • Two domain controllers

Here is the configuration, with placeholder names for each server.

An intranet-only, high availability SharePoint Server farm in Azure

Phase 4 of the SharePoint Server highly-available farm in Azure with SharePoint servers

Two virtual machines for each role ensure high availability. All of the virtual machines are in a single cross-premises Azure virtual network. Each group of virtual machines for a specific role is in its own subnet and availability set.

Note

Because this VNet is connected to the on-premises network, this configuration does not include jumpbox or monitoring virtual machines on a management subnet. For more information, see Running Windows VMs for an N-tier architecture.

Bill of materials

This baseline configuration requires the following set of Azure services and components:

  • Nine virtual machines.

  • Four availability sets.

  • One cross-premises virtual network with five subnets.

  • One Azure subscription.

Here are the virtual machines and their default sizes for this configuration.

To compute the estimated costs for this configuration, see the Azure pricing calculator.

Note

The Azure Pricing Calculator does not include the additional costs for the SQL Server license for the two virtual machines running SQL Server 2016 Enterprise. See Virtual Machines Pricing-SQL for more information.

Phases of deployment

You deploy this SharePoint Server farm with the following phases:

This configuration is a prescriptive, phase-by-phase guide for a predefined architecture to create a highly available intranet SharePoint Server farm in Azure infrastructure services. Keep the following in mind:

  • If you are an experienced SharePoint implementer, feel free to adapt the instructions in phases 3 through 5 and build the farm that best suits your needs.

  • If you already have an existing Azure hybrid cloud deployment, feel free to adapt or skip the instructions in phases 1 and 2 and host the new SharePoint farm on the appropriate set of subnets.

To build a dev/test environment or a proof-of-concept of this configuration, see Intranet SharePoint Server in Azure dev/test environment.
