5. Deployment takes a few minutes. You can follow the notifications by clicking the bell icon at the top of the screen. When done, you should see a notification saying "Deployment to resource group '[your resource group name]' was successful." The install script (`init.sh`) installed RethinkDB, configured it using the default RethinkDB config file, and ran it. It also used `pip` to install [the latest `bigchaindb` from PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/BigchainDB).

6. Find out the public IP address of the virtual machine in the Azure Portal. Example: `40.69.87.250`
7. ssh in to the virtual machine at that IP address, e.g. `ssh adminusername@40.69.87.250` (where `adminusername` should be replaced by the Admin Username you entered into the form, and `40.69.87.250` should be replaced by the IP address you found in the last step).
7. ssh in to the virtual machine at that IP address, i.e. do `ssh <Admin_username>@<machine-ip>` where `<Admin_username>` is the admin username you entered into the form and `<machine-ip>` is the virtual machine IP address determined in the last step. Example: `ssh bcdbadmin@40.69.87.250`
8. You should be prompted for a password. Enter the Admin Password you entered into the form.
8. You should be prompted for a password. Give the `<Admin_password>` you entered into the form.
9. Configure BigchainDB using the default BigchainDB settings: `bigchaindb -y configure`

10. Run BigchainDB: `bigchaindb start`

You can use whatever **Admin\_username** and **Admin\_password** you like (provided you don't get too fancy). It will complain if your password is too simple. You'll need these later to `ssh` into the virtual machine.
**Dns\_label\_prefix** - Once your virtual machine is deployed, it will have a public IP address and a DNS name (hostname) something like `DNSprefix.northeurope.cloudapp.azure.com`. The `DNSprefix` will be whatever you enter into this field.

**Virtual\_machine\_size** - This should be one of Azure's standard virtual machine sizes, such as `Standard_D1_v2`. There's a [list of virtual machine sizes in the Azure docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/virtual-machines-windows-sizes?toc=%2fazure%2fvirtual-machines%2fwindows%2ftoc.json).
