# Prerequisites

> What you need before deploying a Serverless e6data workspace on Azure.

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* Access to the **Azure Portal** with permission to create Managed Identities and assign RBAC roles.
* Permission to grant access on the **Azure Storage Account** (ADLS Gen2) that e6data needs to read.
* An e6data account with permission to create a workspace.

Familiarity with the **Azure CLI** is optional - everything can be done in the Portal, but the CLI (and ARM/Terraform) are offered as alternatives for provisioning the Managed Identity.

## What happens next

Once these are in place: [create your workspace](/platform/workspaces/create-and-manage) → [configure Azure access](/platform/deploy/azure-serverless/configure-azure-access) → [connect ADLS and a catalog](/platform/deploy/azure-serverless/connect-adls-and-catalog) → [create a cluster](/platform/deploy/azure-serverless/create-cluster) → [run your first query](/platform/deploy/azure-serverless/run-first-query).
