# Deploying a Service Fabric cluster based on Linux nodes (No Secured)
You can always deploy a SF cluster through the Azure portal, as explained in this article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-get-started-azure-cluster
However, when creating a cluster, there are quite a few configurations to take into account, like enabling the internal DNS service or Reverse Proxy service, choosing between Linux/Windows, open/publish your application ports in the load-balancer and most of all (the most complex setup) how to create a secure cluster.
Because of those reasons, we have created a set of ARM templates and scripts so you can create, re-create and configure the SF clusters much faster, as explained below:
Within eShopOnContainers root folder, at the folder [..\deploy\az\servicefabric\LinuxContainers](https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnContainers/tree/dev/deploy/az/servicefabric/LinuxContainers), you can find the ARM template `servicefabricdeploy.json` and its parameters file (`servicefabricdeploy.parameters.json`) to create a Service Fabric cluster environment for Linux Containers.
## Deploy eShopOnServiceFabric with Visual Studio.
Alternatively, instead of using ARM templates, you can deploy eShop on service fabric directly by publishing the project eShopOnServiceFabric in eShopOnContainers-ServicesAndWebApps.sln with Visual Studio publish tool.
# Deploying Azure Service Fabric (Secured)
The ARM template `servicefabricdeploysecured.json` and its parameter file (`servicefabricdeploysecured.parameters.json`) are used to create a service fabric cluster environment for linux containers secured with a certificate.
## Create Azure Keyvault service
Go to PortalAzure and create a Keyvault service. Make sure Enable access for deployment checkboxes are selected.

## Generate a certificate in Azure Keyvault
Execute the gen-keyvaultcert.ps1 script to generate and download a certificate from Keyvault.
## Deploy eShopOnServiceFabric with Visual Studio.
Modify the cloud.xml file of each Service Fabric application in PublishProfile directory and set your certificate settings to be able to deploy eshopOnContainers in the secured cluster:
