Hey everyone! I just uploaded a new guide on GitHub where I walk through setting up Azure Firewall in a classic Hub & Spoke scenario to manage all outbound internet traffic 🌐. In this guide, you'll find step-by-step instructions on: Setting up the Hub & Spoke network architecture Configuring Azure Firewall to control and monitor outbound traffic This tutorial is part of the hub-and-spoke-playground project, which includes various scenarios and scripts to showcase the benefits of the hub-and-spoke network topology in Azure. You can explore more scenarios and resources in the project’s GitHub repository: https://github.com/nicolgit/hub-and-spoke-playground . Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
How to add AAD groups to local groups?
Can anyone tell me how I can you add an Azure AD Group to the local Remote Desktop Users group on an AAD joined PC? I have found many how-tos on adding AAD Users to the group, but nothing on how to add an AAD group. The GUI has no evident options for it and no matter what that variation for powershell we try it comes up "object cannot be found."Azure Application Insights automate Availability Tests
Hello together I would like to ask for your knowledge and know-how. I have the following problem: How can I start or stop multiple Availability tests with a script in Azure Application Insights. Currently, I am manually stopping and restarting each test under Availability one by one. Is there a way to automate this so that all tests can be stopped or started at the same time?
