Self-Hosted Setup
Deploy Azent into your own Azure subscription for full data sovereignty. Your code, secrets, and AI requests never leave your infrastructure. The deployment is fully automated via a single script.
Prerequisites
- •An Azure subscription with Owner or Contributor role
- •Azure CLI (
az) installed and authenticated - •
jqinstalled (for the deploy script) - •A license token (provided after purchasing a self-hosted plan)
- •A dedicated bot user in Azure DevOps, added as a Project Administrator in each project Azent should operate in
What gets deployed
The deployment provisions the following into your Azure subscription:
- •Dashboard API — web application and management interface
- •Agent workers — auto-scaling containers that execute tasks
- •Database — stores workspaces, runs, and configuration
- •Networking & security — private endpoints, secret storage, and Entra ID authentication
- •Monitoring — logging and application insights
Initial deployment
Unpack the self-hosted deployment package and run the deployment script from its root:
The script will prompt you for:
- •Resource name prefix — used as a base for all Azure resource names (default:
azent-prod) - •Azure region — where to deploy (default:
westeurope) - •Resource group name
- •Tenant mode — single-tenant or multi-tenant (default: single-tenant)
- •License token — the JWS token provided with your self-hosted license
The script sets up authentication, deploys all infrastructure, and saves the configuration to azent-deploy.json. No local Docker installation is needed.
Updating an existing deployment
To update the deployment (e.g. after a new release):
This reads configuration from azent-deploy.json and updates all components to the latest version.
Security note: The azent-deploy.json file contains sensitive configuration. It is created with chmod 600 permissions — do not commit it to source control.
