This setup empowers users to run ClearBlade Edge as an IoT Edge module on Azure IoT Edge. It consists of these steps:

• Create a developer account

• Introduction to ClearBlade

• Create an empty system

• Create an edge in the system

• Copy the edge config data

• Deploy the edge

Deploy the edge on Azure

If the user has no device setup, they can follow the Azure instructions to deploy the IoT Edge and its modules on a virtual machine.

• Click the Get it now action button on the Azure Marketplace, which redirects to the deployment page.

• In the Deployment Modules section, click the configure button, which opens the custom configuration option.

• Replace the following placeholders in the Container Create options. The developer must have an edge already created in their ClearBlade system.

The developers' system-specific edge values are in the tutorial instructions' CREATE section.

```javascript
"Cmd": [
    "-platform-ip=<PLATFORM_URL>",
    "-parent-system=<SYSTEM_KEY>",
    "-edge-id=<EDGE_ID>",
    "-edge-cookie=<EDGE_COOKIE>"
  ]

"Cmd": [
    "-platform-ip=platform.clearblade.com",
    "-parent-system=c694c6d30bf095c4d3b48c89dacf01",
    "-edge-id=azure-edge",
    "-edge-cookie=mx912P2429QC97708RFf65Kvj0L"
  ]
```  

• After updating the createOptions, click deploy to Azure IoT Edge device.

• The sudo docker ps should list the running containers if the user creates and deploys the IoT Edge hub on a VM.

• ClearBladeIoTEdgePlatform is the container name the user should be looking for.

Advanced

To have a persistent edge database, the user can update the ClearBlade IoT Edge module deployment configuration options to add more flags to the Docker command.
