S2S VPN Configuration To configure an S2S VPN tunnel using Azure VPN Gateway, we will use a Windows server with RRAS features installed. This will work as the equivalent of an on-premises appliance that would typically run a persistent connection with the VPN gateway. An S2S tunnel is typically designed to be persistent: Figure 17.29 […]

VNet to VNet connections – Integrating On-Premises Networks with Azure
VNet to VNet connections Configuring a VNet-to-VNet connection is a simple way to connect VNets. Connecting a virtual network to another virtual network is similar to creating an S2S IPSec connection to an on-premises environment. Both the connection types use Azure VPN Gateway. The VPN gateway provides a secure tunnel IPsec/IKE and they communicate in […]
Network diagnostic tools – Monitoring and Troubleshooting Virtual Networking
Network diagnostic tools There are several network diagnostic tools presented to you in Network Watcher. You can, for instance, diagnose network traffic filteringfor VMs, determine the next hop of your traffic on route to an intended destination, or even identify why a VM is unable to communicate with other resources because of a security rule. […]
Effective security rules – Monitoring and Troubleshooting Virtual Networking
Effective security rules This is usedto determine the overall effective security rules applied to your VM and will combine all relevant NSG rules together to display the net rule effect. This can be extremely helpful when assessing why your traffic is blocked and where you have several NSGs. VPN troubleshoot This isused when there are […]
Configuring Network Watcher – Monitoring and Troubleshooting Virtual Networking
Configuring Network Watcher Now that you understand what Network Watcher is, we will explore in the following sections how to configure and use the various components available to the service. Network resource monitoring In this demonstration, we are going to monitor the network on VMs. For this demonstration, create three Windows Server 2016 data center […]
Enabling Network Watcher – Monitoring and Troubleshooting Virtual Networking
Enabling Network Watcher To enable Network Watcher in a specific region, take the following steps: Figure 18.9 – Selecting All Services Figure 18.10 – Selecting network watcher Figure 18.11 – Selecting your Network Watcher Top Tip Note that upon deploying your first VNet in an Azure region, Azure will automatically create the associated NetworkWatcher_ resource.

Global peering interconnectivity Lab – Practice Labs – Configuring and Managing Virtual Networking
Global peering interconnectivity Lab This lab will guide you through creating three VNets within Azure, two in one region and one in another. The purpose of this lab is to explore inter-site connectivity through VNet peering services and confirm that you can emulate on-premises network topologies through the logical networking options available to Azure. Estimated […]
Azure Monitor – Monitoring Resources with Azure Monitor
Azure Monitor Azure Monitor is a monitoring solution in the Azure portal that delivers a comprehensive solution for collecting, analyzing, and acting on telemetry from cloud and on-premises environments. It can be used to monitor various aspects of your environments (for instance, the performance of applications) and identify issues affecting those applications and other resources […]
The Activity log – Monitoring Resources with Azure Monitor
The Activity log The Activity log is used for tracking configuration changes within Azure, such as the deployment of resources to a resource group, or the modification of resources, such as adding tags. The following screenshot shows an example view of an Activity log: Figure 20.2 – The Activity log As you can see, the […]
Insights – Monitoring Resources with Azure Monitor
Insights Monitor creates a view of relevant monitoring details specific to your resources and uses intelligence to extract value from collected data, such as performance, health, and availability data. These views are compartmentalized into resource-specific insight views, such as Application Insights, VM insights, and Container insights. Application Insights Application Insights is a telemetry tool used […]
