# Task 4: Verify the BYOA outpost deployment

This page lists the checks necessary for verifying that deployment is valid.

After running the Terraform and it completes successfully:

* **Check FICs**: In the Azure Portal, go to your **App Registration → Certificates & secrets → Federated credentials**. You should see federated identity credentials created by Cortex.
* **Check Cortex XDR**: The outpost should appear in the Cortex XDR console with status **Connected**.
* **Check scanning**: Cortex begins discovery and scanning after Azure has been onboarded. Confirm that the first scan starts automatically after deployment. The initial scan may take some time to begin. If no scan has started after a reasonable interval, you might need to re-download the outpost Terraform files and try again.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-5.x/configure-cortex-xdr/cortex-xdr-data-sources/cloud-service-provider-csp-onboarding/outpost-onboarding/working-with-bringing-your-own-azure-app-byoa-outposts/task-4-verify-the-byoa-outpost-deployment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
