+Canvas is currently hosted in Azure as a prebuilt Bitnami container. It connects back to the space via a site-to-site VPN for authentication.
+=== Azure Deployment ===
+Deployment uses the Bitnami Canvas LMS stack - https://bitnami.com/stack/canvaslms
+Canvas currently runs in the <code>bitnami-canvaslms-534e-rgroup</code> resource group on Azure
+The following components drive Canvas:

+=== Azure VPN ===
+The Azure VPN is used to facilitate LDAP authentication against [[Active_Directory]].
+== Authentication ==
+Canvas uses LDAP to authenticate against onsite [[Active Directory]]. Canvas user information is populated by a PowerShell script that runs on [[DC1|Active_Directory]] every 15 minutes as a Windows Scheduled Task. (Script should really be hosted on the PS1 github)
