Devin Azure VPC Deployment Guide

This guide outlines the process for deploying Devin in your Azure Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environment, providing access to resources within your corporate firewall.
Terraform deployment is our recommended approach for setting up Devin in your Azure VPC. This automated method ensures consistent, repeatable infrastructure provisioning with minimal manual configuration.
Terraform Deployment Workflow

​
Prerequisites

Before beginning the Terraform deployment process, ensure you have:
  • Setup VPC for Devin (either use an existing VPC or provision a new one)
  • Ensure you have an Azure account with permissions to:
    • create virtual machines
    • create storage accounts in your region
  • Ensure your Azure account can support instances with at least 70 virtual CPUs
  • Terraform (version 1.0 or later) installed

​
Step-by-Step Deployment Process

1

Collect Azure Environment Information

Gather the following information which will be required for the Terraform configuration:
  • Azure Subscription ID (GUID format)
  • VPC ID (Virtual Network name)
  • Two Subnet names:
    • subnet-1
    • subnet-2
Helpful Azure CLI commands:
# List your Virtual Networks
az network vnet list --query "[].{Name:name, ResourceGroup:resourceGroup}" -o table

# List subnets in a specific Virtual Network
az network vnet subnet list --vnet-name <your-vnet-name> --resource-group <your-resource-group> --query "[].{Name:name, AddressPrefix:addressPrefix}" -o table
2

Configure Firewall Access

Ensure your endpoint security systems (user devices that will access Devin) allow access to:
  • *.devin.ai
  • *.devinenterprise.com
  • *.devinapps.com
Azure Firewall Configuration
3

Obtain Terraform Configuration and Auth Token

Contact Cognition to receive:
  1. An authentication token for pulling the hypervisor image
  2. The Terraform configuration files customized for your environment
Once you share your environment information (from Step 1), we will provide these resources to you.
4

Execute Terraform Script

We can schedule a call to execute this step together. The process involves:
  1. Extract the Terraform configuration files to a directory on your local machine: 
    mkdir -p ~/devin-terraform && cd ~/devin-terraform
# Extract files received from Cognition
  2. Initialize the Terraform environment: 
    terraform init
  3. Review the planned infrastructure changes: 
    terraform plan
  4. Apply the configuration to provision the infrastructure: 
    terraform apply
  5. Confirm the changes when prompted.
The Terraform scripts will set up all necessary components including virtual machines, storage accounts, security groups, IAM roles, and the hypervisor registration.
5

Run First Devin Session

After the Terraform script completes successfully, we will work together to:
  1. Verify that the resources have been created in your Azure portal
  2. Run a first Devin session to ensure connectivity to the required services
  3. Debug any issues that arise with the support of Cognition team
