Catalyst Center VM on Azure

[ndahemmy]

Hello,

Is there any version of Catalyt Center VM designed for Azure cloud?

Is there any Cisco roadmap for this.

If anyone can share any official cisco link with these information I'd appreciate

Thank you

At this time we only support Cisco Catalyst Center VA (Virtual Appliance) on VMware ESXI. There are designs to expand the support to other platforms such as Azure, but at this time that is still being developed.

Thank you @maflesch .

I have created a question ticket on Cisco support and got the same answer

Any reference on the network bandwidth requirements in case we opt to install Catalyst Center on AWS?

let's say if you want to manage 500 devices

You can find some information on this from the following community post:

But you also support this for AWS as well.

We just want the same functionality for Azure.

Again, as I previously stated in this post, there are plans to open up other platforms for virtualization support, including Azure. At this time however, those options are still in development.

Does the BU have a timeline for Catalyst Center in Azure Marketplace.   Our architecture requires these types of Management Appliances be installed in Azure.   I am challenged with an implementation timeline and budget without a date to target which in turn dashes my approvals required.   Since there is DNA Center for SDWAN in Azure, I hoped that this would be somewhat of a public timeline.
