Episode 63 – Complete Guide to Hub and Spoke Networking in Azure: Step-by-step Walkthrough of all Options (summary)

Transitive routing in Azure is like navigating a maze, but fear not! With some IP forwarding, port tweaking, and a touch of virtual magic, you can create a network that talks to itself in no time. Just be sure to check the boxes and create those routes, and soon enough, your clouds will be singing in harmony 🌩️ #AzureNetworking #CloudMagic

Introduction πŸ’»

Welcome to a comprehensive guide on Azure hub + spoke networking. In this episode, we will demystify transitive routing in Azure, providing a walk-through of all the options available.

Creating Virtual Networks and Peering 🌐

To begin, we will start by creating virtual networks, peering them, and then setting up virtual machines within the networks.

ActionsDescription
Create virtual networksWe will set up multiple virtual networks, each with its own subnets.
Peering networksPeering allows for communication between networks, ensuring seamless connectivity.

Configuring Virtual Machines and Bastion Host πŸ”’

Once the networks are set up, we will proceed with creating virtual machines and setting up a Bastion host for secure access.

Note: This step involves creating user-defined routes and peering configurations for seamless communication.

Testing and Troubleshooting Network Configurations πŸ› οΈ

After the initial setup, we will conduct tests to ensure that all configurations are functioning as expected. This includes verifying peering connections and testing network communication.

"Troubleshooting network configurations is essential to ensure a robust and secure setup."

Working with UDRs and NVA 🧭

In this phase, we will explore user-defined routes and network virtual appliances, enhancing the network’s functionality for advanced use cases.

ConfigurationDescription
Creating UDRsUser-defined routes for granular control over network traffic.
NVA SetupConfiguring network virtual appliances for enhanced network capabilities.

Securing Network Connections and Firewalls πŸ›‘οΈ

Enhancing network security is crucial. We will delve into setting up firewall rules and securing network connections.

By securing connections and setting up firewalls, we ensure a robust and protected network environment.

Conclusion and Next Steps πŸš€

In conclusion, setting up an NVA and configuring transitive routing in Azure is a straightforward process. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can seamlessly set up cloud-native networks.
