# Azure Serverless

> Deploy e6data as a Serverless workspace on Azure - the end-to-end path from creating a workspace to running your first query.

A **Serverless** workspace on Azure runs e6data's compute in e6data's own Azure subscription, fully managed for you. Your data stays in your Azure account - e6data reads it read-only through a keyless Workload Identity federation. There's no Kubernetes to run.

<Info>
  **Who this is for:** any e6data user with Azure access - no Kubernetes to run. **Before you start:** permission to provision a Managed Identity and register a Storage Credential, plus access to the ADLS data and catalog you want to query (see [Prerequisites](/platform/deploy/azure-serverless/prerequisites)).
</Info>

This guide walks the full deployment in order.

## Deployment steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review the architecture">
    See [Architecture](/platform/deploy/azure-serverless/architecture) - how Serverless on Azure fits together.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check prerequisites">
    See [Prerequisites](/platform/deploy/azure-serverless/prerequisites) - Azure access you need.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your workspace">
    Follow [Create and manage workspaces](/platform/workspaces/create-and-manage) - pick **Serverless**, **Azure**, and your region.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Azure access">
    See [Configure Azure access](/platform/deploy/azure-serverless/configure-azure-access) - provision a Managed Identity and register a Storage Credential.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect ADLS and a catalog">
    See [Connect ADLS and a catalog](/platform/deploy/azure-serverless/connect-adls-and-catalog) - create a catalog over your data.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a cluster">
    See [Create a cluster](/platform/deploy/azure-serverless/create-cluster) - provision compute.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run your first query">
    See [Run your first query](/platform/deploy/azure-serverless/run-first-query) - confirm it works.
  </Step>
