What steps are needed to run Matlab on a Windows VM in Azure or AWS?

The reference architectures on github make it easy to get started with Matlab running on Linux VMs. However I have Windows .NET libraries that are integrated with my Matlab scripts. I see that Matlab only supports .NET integration on Windows.

Is there anything special about how Windows Matlab would be installed and run on an Azure or AWS VM? Would it just be installed the same way as on a local desktop computer?

I understand that the TCP RDP port 3389 would need to be configured manually for the Azure VM to allow Remote Desktop to access it. Is there anything else?

As you mentioned, currently, only Ubutu is supported in Reference Architecture templates (matlab-on-aws and matlab-on-azure) and there's no special templates for Windows VM.

So, you need to create Windows environement by yourself and install MATLAB as the same way of local PCs.

• Create Windows VM in Azure (AWS). For machine spec, be sure to satisfy MATLAB's system requirement.
• Allow inbound TCP port 3389 for remote desktop in Azure Network Security Group (AWS Security Group). It is open by default.
• Download MATLAB installer from web (https://www.mathworks.com/downloads/web_downloads/) or License Center and install MATLAB.
• For using .NET interface, install .NET Framework as described in this document.

According to my experince to run the MatLab on azure VM " login on your same gmail account in server and your pc too, then use the chrome desktop remote extension" . It will work perfectly
