Post-deployment steps

If you have deployed the cluster with externally created Secured Functions, you must perform the following steps after deployment.

  1. Go to the Key Vault created in Azure Deployment.

  2. Navigate to Networking.

  3. Click on Selected Network > Add existing Virtual Networks.

  4. Choose the Virtual network, then select the same Subnet where you have launched your secured Functions.
    You can find the subnet in the inputs of Deployment of Azure Function. Look for the value of the AzureFunctionSubnetName parameter.

  5. Similarly, go to Storage Account associated with Kyvos deployment and perform steps 2 to 5 for the storage account.
