Creating and Configuring An Azure Virtual Network Slides

1. Azure virtual networks (VNets) provide traffic isolation and segmentation between virtual networks and subnets. 2. VNets can be connected through gateways like VNet-to-VNet VPN or peering. Name resolution within and between VNets can be configured through Azure DNS or custom DNS servers. 3. When designing a VNet, subnets should be created based on workloads and network security groups should be bound at the subnet level to control traffic flows.

Name Resolution for Azure VNets

Azure-provided name resolution Azure DNS


No configuration required Host your public DNS domain in Azure
- Use Azure geo-distributed name
All VMs within a VNet can resolve each servers
others’ host names
Create private DNS zones
Issue: cross-VNet name resolution
- Linked to VNets
Issue: No custom DNS suffix - Registration VNet
You can add custom DNS server IP - Resolution VNet
addresses
You can host your own DNS server(s)

VM IP Addressing Best Practices

If a VM doesn't need a public IP address (PIP), then don't assign one


and use an Azure load balancer instead

Plan your VNet private address space to avoid overlap

Never configure networking from within the VM


Demo
Deploy a VM and bind to the correct
vNIC
- Show the inflexible portal experience
- Deploy in Visual Studio using a
template
Keep in mind the basic truth that the
VNet is a fundamental isolation and
segmentation boundary
