Go to the page https://github.com/Microsoft/openshift-container-platform/tree/release-3.10 and click the Deploy to Azure link. It will take you to the Azure portal. Fill in all the required parameters. Make sure you take note of your OpenShift admin user name and password. That is required when you log into the OpenShift console, once it is successfully deployed. The following are descriptions of some important parameters:

• Resource Group: Select "Use Existing" radio button. (Created in step 8)
• Openshift Password: Enter password of your choice.
• Key Vault Secret: The name you gave for the key in Step 5 ("keysecret" in Step 5 here).
• Red Hat user name/organization and password/activation key: If you create your own account for OpenShift on Red Hat portal, use that. You will need the Red Hat pool id for the subscription.
• ssh public key: This is a public key you created in step 4. Content will be in the file ~/.ssh/openshift_rsa.pub
• Select the VM size as Standard_E2s_V3. Storage kind should be 'undamaged".
• Select 'true' in Enable Azure field.
• Aad client id and secret: Use appId received in step 7 and use the same password you used in step 7.
• masterInstanceCount field value: select 1.
• infraInstanceCount field value: select 1.
• nodeInstanceCount field value: select 3.

Once deployment is complete, get to the Openshift Console by accessing:

az group deployment show --name Microsoft.Template --resource-group suneelOSFTCluster | grep ".azure.com:8443/console"

You can login into the above url using the user name ocpadmin and password you have given in the above for the Openshift password.
