## Deployment

Select the [Infection Monkey from the Azure Marketplace](https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/guardicore.infection_monkey) and click **GET IT NOW**.

1. Under **Basics**:
    1. Choose a name for the Infection Monkey instance, such as InfectionMonkey.
    1. Choose a username and password or provide an SSH public key for authentication.
    1. Choose a resource group and the location for your instance.
1. Under **Size**
    1. Choose a machine size with at least 1GB of RAM for optimal performance.
1. Under **Settings**
    1. Choose the network for your new instance.
    1. In the **Network Security Group** field, make sure ports 5000 and 5001 on the machine are accessible for inbound TCP traffic.
1. Under **Summary**
    1. Review the details of the offer and click **Create**.

At this point, Azure will instance and deploy your new machine. When ready, you can browse to the Infection Monkey running on your fresh deployment at:

`https://{public-ip-address}:5000`

## Upgrading

Currently, there's no "upgrade-in-place" option when a new version is released. To get the updated version, you can deploy a new machine from the marketplace. If you'd like to keep your existing configuration, you can export it to a file using the export button and then import it to the new Monkey Island.
