Final answer:
To deploy Microsoft Antimalware to Azure VMs, access the Azure portal, select your VM, add the Microsoft Antimalware extension and configure its settings. It can then protect your VM from security threats and performance and alerts can be monitored directly from Azure.
Step-by-step explanation:
To deploy Microsoft Antimalware to Azure virtual machines (VMs), you should first set up an account with Microsoft Azure and have your virtual machines running. From there, the process typically involves the following steps:
- Navigate to the Azure portal and select the VM to which you want to add Microsoft Antimalware.
- Under the settings for the VM, find the option for 'Extensions' and choose 'Add'.
- From the list of available extensions, select the Microsoft Antimalware extension.
- Configure the Antimalware according to your needs, such as setting up scanning exclusions, scheduled scans, and real-time protection settings.
- Review the settings and click 'Create' to apply the extension to the VM.
Once the extension is deployed, Microsoft Antimalware will begin protecting your Azure VM against a range of security threats. You can monitor the Antimalware's performance and alerts directly from the Azure portal or optionally through other monitoring solutions that integrate with Azure.
