How to Create an Edge Service

The Edge Service is a subscription hosted and managed by Barracuda Networks. You can choose the region where your Edge Service is likely to be deployed, and the bandwidth or sizing of the VM image you need for it.  You are allowed to add only one hosted Edge Service in each region per workspace. When activating a new subscription, you will be provided with the option to create an Edge Service. The hosted Edge Service runs as a single instance only, so no degraded state exists for it. 

Before You Begin

• Subscribe to the Barracuda Networks for (SaaS) Edge Service. For more information on the product activation procedure, see How to Activate the Edge Service and SecureEdge Access Using an Activation Key.

• Create a Barracuda Cloud Control account. For more information, see Create a Barracuda Cloud Control Account.

• After completing the activation process for your product, verify your subscription on the Barracuda SecureEdge Manager via the Profile > Subscriptions page.

Step 1. Create an Edge Service

1. Go to https://se.barracudanetworks.com and log in with your existing Barracuda Cloud Control account.
2. In the left menu, click the Tenants/Workspaces icon.
3. From the drop-down menu, select the workspace your Edge Service should be assigned to.
4. In the left menu, click the Infrastructure icon, and select Edge Services.
   

5. The Edge Services page opens. In the top-right corner of the window, click New Edge Service.
   

6. From the drop-down menu, select Edge Service. The New Edge Service blade opens

After the configuration is complete, the Edge Service automatically appears in the Cloud UI with the Connection Status listed as pending (you will see a question mark).
