Step 4. Specify Subscription and Region

At the Subscription step of the wizard, do the following:

1. From the Subscription drop-down list, select an Azure subscription that is used to manage costs of the backup appliance.

For a subscription to be displayed in the list of available subscriptions, it must be created in Microsoft Azure and associated with the Azure AD tenant to which the Microsoft Azure compute account specified at step 3 of the wizard belongs.

2. From the Data center drop-down list, select the Azure region in which the backup appliance resides.

For more information on regions and zones, see Microsoft Docs.
