Step: 1 Login into your LCS account, select the project you want to deploy. Go to environment and click on ‘+’ symbol



In next screen you need to choose topology to deply.

On the next screen give a name for this instance. (You can select a different size). Click on next.


It will ask for a confirmation for deployment. Click on deploy.
Now LCS will deploy the environment on Azure, this may take some time to complete this step.
