 # Quickstart: Deploy WebLogic Server on Azure Virtual Machines (VMs)
 
-This article shows you how to quickly deploy WebLogic Server (WLS) on Azure Virtual Machine (VM) with the simplest possible set of configuration choices using the Azure portal. For a more full featured tutorial, including the use of Azure Application Gateway to make WLS cluster on VM securely visible on the public internet, see [Tutorial: Migrate a WebLogic Server cluster to Azure with Azure Application Gateway as a load balancer](/azure/developer/java/migration/migrate-weblogic-with-app-gateway?toc=/azure/developer/java/ee/toc.json&bc=/azure/developer/java/breadcrumb/toc.json).

 ## Deploy WebLogic Server with Administration Server on a VM
 
-The steps in this section direct you to deploy WebLogic Server on VM in the simplest possible way: using the [single instance with an admin server](https://aka.ms/wls-vm-admin) offer. Other offers are available to meet different scenarios, including: [single instance without an admin server](https://aka.ms/wls-vm-singlenode), [static cluster](https://aka.ms/wls-vm-cluster), and [dynamic cluster](https://aka.ms/wls-vm-dynamic-cluster).
