Introduction
Cisco hardware routers are normally shipped with the Cisco IOS XE software pre-installed. Because the Cisco
CSR 1000v Series Cloud Services Router is not hardware-based, you must download the Cisco IOS XE
software from Cisco.com and install it directly onto the virtual machine. However, as part of the initial
installation process, you must first provision the attributes of the VM so that the Cisco CSR 1000v software
can install and boot.
For information about deploying the Cisco CSR 1000v in an Amazon Web Services environment, seehttp:/

For information about deploying the Cisco CSR 1000v in a Microsoft Azure environment, see http://
