# Azure

Connect Azure to use Blossom BYOC (bring your own cloud), with workloads
billed to your Azure subscription.

## Connect

1. Create a dedicated application and service principal with the permissions
   shown by Blossom.
2. Record its Tenant ID, Subscription ID, Client ID, and Client Secret.
3. In Blossom, open **Cloud Providers**, choose **Azure**, and save those
   credentials.
4. Run the connection check, then select a supported Azure region when you
   create an Environment.

Keep the subscription active, its payment method current, the role assignments
valid, and enough regional quota available for approved Capacity. Azure role
changes can take time to propagate; retry the connection check after the role
assignment becomes visible.

After the connection is healthy, deploy, scale, observe, and recover Apps
through the ordinary Blossom workflow. You can also [connect the provider with
the Blossom CLI](/docs/locations/cloud-providers/create-from-cli/).
