Stage 1 (40 min)

•Build VMs with DSC scripts and Templates

•Azure uses ARM Templates

•AWS uses CloudFormation Templates

•Perform only with new updates

#PIWorld ©2019 OSIsoft, LLC 18

Stage 2 (3 min)

•Take snapshots of VMs

•Snapshots will be used for further deployments

#PIWorld ©2019 OSIsoft, LLC 19

Stage 3 (2 min)

•Deploy VMs from snapshots

•New set of templates

•Different from those in Stage 1

•Perform whenever new environment needed
