Az 500 -- Azure Firewall

  What is Azure Firewall? Azure Firewall is a managed, cloud-based network security service that protects your Azure Virtual Network resources. It's a fully stateful firewall as a service with built-in high availability and unrestricted cloud scalability. You can centrally create, enforce, and log application and network connectivity policies across subscriptions and virtual networks. Azure Firewall uses a static public IP address for your virtual network resources allowing outside firewalls to identify traffic originating from your virtual network. The service is fully integrated with Azure Monitor for logging and analytics. To learn about Azure Firewall features, see  Azure Firewall features . With NSG's or ASG we cannot write policies based on Domain names, but azure firewall supports restricting traffic based on domain names . This can be useful when we want to restrict users from accessing a particular website. If that particular website doesnt have a static IP address or...

Azure AD Authentication And Authorization

ROLE BASED AUTHORIZATION Step1:   Setup  API. 1. Create an app registration and create an app role. Make sure that the app role is assigned to user and applications. We add it to both user groups and applications as this role can be then assigned to both users and applications. Scopes can only be assigned to apps. Now we can have only users with this role access our application. This app role behind the scenes adds an approles section to the manifest.json. We can directly add it to the manifest file also. Step 2:  Setup an app registration for the UI/ WEB App. . We will grant this app the read role created in the API app (shown above). Go to Azure AD and select the UI app registration. When we register an application 2 elements get created. 1. App registration  2. Enterprise Application -- service principal that get created for the app Adding roles to applications Go to the App registration => API Persmissions => Add a Permission => My API's The My Api's sec...

AZ-500 AppService Inside VNet

The intent is to create an appservice that is available inside a VNET. So we will create a vnet and put an appservice inside it. This Vnet will have 2 subnets. One that has the appservice and another one that will have a VM.. We need to make sure that this Appservice can be accessed only inside the VM (inside the same VNET)  1. Create a Vnet Total Address space is 256.. We split into 2 subnets 2. Create an Appservice in standard or above tier as the lower tiers dont support networking.  and select the Vnet and select the sub2 subnet 3. Create a Virtual Machine inside sub1. 4. Go to Appservices and onto the networking tab and select Access Restrictions Create a rule and select VNET and subnet that we created earlier. We can also specify IP Address. Then this appservice can be accessed by the specified IP's only. So this appservice can only be accessed within subnet 1. Which is where we have deployed the VM.. From Internet Inside VM (Subnet 1)

Az-500 VNet Peering

 1. Create 2 VM's inside 2 different VNets VM2 is inside vnet2 VM1 is inside vnet1 Step 2: Enable IIS in both VM's Step 3: Go to both VM's and add a default html page. Inside the below path add a text file. Click on save as and select all files as type and save the file as "Default.html". Try to access using the public IP. Since we have created the html page inside a folder called vm1 the path will be as shown below. Do the same for vm2 Step 4:  This will add a peering between Vnet1 and Vnet2 and vice versa. Get the Private IP for vm2 and try to access the URL inside VM1. Accessing VM1 inside VM2 using VM1's private IP.
