I'm not familiar with Ignition Edge, but can you not go to the home page on the gateway and download the designer?

If you're running Ignition in a container on a [Linux] Azure VM, do you have a GUI to run the Designer from there? The typical use case would be to run the Designer on your client OS (locally) and connect it to your Ignition gateway (Azure). @Ryan_Allen is correct in that you can download the _Designer Launcher_ from the Ignition Gateway webpage that can then be used to launch the Designer (against Ignition running in your Azure VM).
