1. Quick Start Guide for Intel® FPGA Development Tools on the Microsoft* Azure* Platform

Updated for:
Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Suite 17.1
This user guide describes how to run Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition and Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ 1 2 using the Azure* Cloud platform. The Microsoft* Azure* Platform offers compute, networking, storage and other services.

You can learn about the available licensing models, how to create an account, how to transfer files to and from your account, and how to manage the lifecycle of your virtual machines. The last sections of this user guide show examples of using Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Space Explorer II, and the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ .

Note: This document assumes a basic understanding of authentication using SSH standards for Secure Shell.
