On the **Basics** tab of the Microsoft Azure portal, configure the basic settings as follows:

- In the **Project details** section complete the following:
  - **Subscription**: Select the subscription on which you want to create the virtual appliance.
  - **Resource** **group**: You must create a new resource group to which this virtual appliance belongs. Enter a unique name for this resource group. You will see an error message if you use the name of an existing resource group. A resource group is a collection of resources that share the same life cycle, permissions, and policies.
- In the **Instance details** section complete the following:
  - **Region**: From the drop-down list, select the region in which the virtual appliance resides.
  - **NIOS** **model**: From the drop-down list, choose the vNIOS model that must be installed on the VM.
  - **NIOS** **VM** **name**: Enter the VM name that should be used in the Azure portal.
  - **Password** **for** **'admin'** **user**: Enter a password for the admin user. The admin user can make changes to all configuration for this virtual appliance.
    - The password length must be between 12 to 64 characters long.
    - The password must fulfil at least any three of the following conditions: Upper case alphabetic character, lower case alphabetic character, numeric number, and special character.  
Enter the password again to confirm.
