Azure: How to create Standard Load Balancer without public IP address?
I want to run my application with AKS cluster(version - 1.18.14) with the dependency of standard load balancer to create multiple node pools. But, the standard load balancer is creating public IP address. which is not suitable for my application. Because my application is private not public. Is there any way to "create Standard load balancer without public IP address in Azure?" Thanks.
Azure Update management - error HRESULT: 0x80072F8F
Azure Update management not working Environment: Azure Windows based VM Forced Tunnelling Onpremise Firewall supports only IP Addresses Update management error: AssessmentError Exception from HRESULT: 0x80072F8F AssessmentErrorStackTrace System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80072F8F): Exception from HRESULT: 0x80072F8F at Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Mom.Modules.ChangeTracking.WUA.IUpdateSearcher2.EndSearch(ISearchJob searchJob) at Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Advisor.PatchManagement.WindowsUpdateHelper.GetUpdateSnapshot(TimeSpan timeout, Boolean onlineSearch, DateTime lastTimeUpdateApplied, IAutomaticUpdates2 automaticUpdates, UpdateModuleState state) Troubleshooting: Due to Forced Tunnelling the traffic has to go to the onpremise FW. Unfortunately the onpremise FW allows only IP Addresses and as per the following article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-network-configuration#update-management-and-change-tracking-and-inventory It suggest to allow port 443 for url: Azure Public *.ods.opinsights.azure.com *.oms.opinsights.azure.com *.blob.core.windows.net *.azure-automation.net & *.oms.opinsights.azure.com Though, no IP address that I can NSlookup for *.azure-automation.net” Therefore, trying the alternate approach: Tried enabling service Tags via Azure Firewall, but as the traffic still goes to Onpremise FW we either need the IP Address for the URL to be allowed Else, use User Defined Route (UDR) to direct the Traffic for Service TAGS: “Azure Monitor” & “GuestAndHybridManagement“ via UDR and allowed the same using CLI, still no good. Checking for suggestions. Thanks in advance to reading through.Whitepaper Achieving Compliant Data Residency and Security with Azure
Introduction Security and compliance–basic elements of the trusted cloud–are top priorities for organizations today. This paper is designed to help customers ensure that their data is handled in a manner that meets their data protection, regulatory, and sovereignty requirements on the global cloud architecture of Microsoft Azure. Transparency and control are also essential to establishing and maintaining trust in cloud technology. Microsoft recognizes that restricted and regulated industries require additional details for their risk management and to ensure compliance at all times. Microsoft provides an industry-leading security and compliance portfolio. Security is built into the Azure platform, beginning with the development process, which is conducted in accordance with the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL), and includes technologies, controls and tools that address data management and governance, Active Directory identity and access controls, network and infrastructure security technologies and tools, threat protection, and encryption to protect data in transit and at rest. Microsoft also provides customers with choices to select and limit the types and locations of data storage on Azure. With the innovation of the security and compliance frameworks, customers in regulated industries can successfully run mission-critical workloads in the cloud and leverage all the advantages of the Microsoft hyperscale cloud. This simple approach can assist customers in meeting the data protection requirements of government regulations or company policies by helping them to: Understand data protection obligations. Understand the services and controls that Azure provides to help its customers meet those obligations. Understand the evidence that customers need to assert compliance. The paper is structured into these three sections, with each diving deeper into the security and technologies that help Microsoft customers to meet data protection requirements. The final section discusses specific requirements to which industries and organizations in selected European markets are subject.

already posted a couple of blogs about the Windows Admin Center. For example how you can use and configure Azure Backup or how you can configure the Azure Network Adapter directly from Windows Admin Center. Windows Admin Center does also allow you to manage Windows Updates on your Windows Server. However, if you want to have some more control over your updates and have a centralized orchestration for updates, Azure Update Management can help you. You can use the Update Management solution in Azure Automation to manage operating system updates for your Windows and Linux computers that are deployed in Azure, in on-premises environments, or in other cloud providers. With Windows Admin Center you will get a direct integration with Azure Update Management. You can read more here: https://www.thomasmaurer.ch/2018/11/azure-update-management-windows-admin-center/
Update management via OMS for Windows Server 2008 R2 servers?
The OMS portal says "Windows Computers must be running Windows Server 2012 or later" when you go and make an update deployment, but the documentation states "The solution supports performing update assessments against Windows Server 2008 and higher, and update deployments against Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and higher" along with "Support for deploying updates to Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 requires .NET Framework 4.5 and WMF 5.0 or later." I'm not able to actually get update management deployment to Windows Server 2008 R2 servers to apply patches, even with .Net 4.5 and WMF 5.0 or later. Is there something I'm missing?Using Azure Update Management on Azure Stack
At Microsoft Ignite 2018, Microsoft announced the integration of Azure Update and Configuration Management on Azure Stack. This is a perfect example how Azure services from the public cloud can be extended into your datacenter using Azure Stack. Azure Update and Configuration Management brings Azure Update Management, Change Tracking and Inventory to your Azure Stack VMs. In the case of Azure Stack, the backend services and orchestrator like Azure Automation and Log Analytics, will remain to run in Azure, but it lets you connect your VMs running on Azure Stack.

Cant Enable Update Management for Azure VMs
I am trying to configure update management for a VM in Azure. I have enabled the Update Management solution and have enrolled the VM in Update Management however the agent status is Not Configured and no Hybrid Worker has been created for the VM. I have attempted this on several VMs without any luck. Any ideas of what to try?
