Network Design Ideas for VMs in Azure
Hello, I am analyzing the current Azure environment at my new job and trying to figure out the architectural choices mostly networking wise. Currently, we have 10 VMs and each VM has its own VNet and they are all in the same region. In my experience so far, I have never seen such network design in Azure before. If all VMs are in the same region, we could have one Vnet and utilize subnets and NSGs to segment the VMs and control the traffic. Having so many different VNets makes it very complex to manage. Looking for opinions what other people think. Is this just a bad design or just to keep the VMs separate from each other.Azure Course Blueprints
Overview The Course Blueprint is a comprehensive visual guide to the Azure ecosystem, integrating all the resources, tools, structures, and connections covered in the course into one inclusive diagram. It enables students to map out and understand the elements they've studied, providing a clear picture of their place within the larger Azure ecosystem. It serves as a 1:1 representation of all the topics officially covered in the instructor-led training. Links: Each icon in the blueprint has a hyperlink to the pertinent document in the learning path on Learn. Layers: You have the capability to filter layers to concentrate on segments of the course by modules. I.E.: Just day 1 of AZ-104, using filters in Visio and selecting modules 1-3 Enhanced Integration: The Visio Template+ for expert courses such as SC-100 and AZ-305 now features an additional layer that allows you to compare SC-100, AZ-500, and SC-300 within the same diagram. Similarly, you can compare any combination of AZ-305, AZ-204, AZ-700, and AZ-104 to identify differences and study gaps. Since SC-300 and AZ-500 are potential prerequisites for SC-100, and AZ-204 or AZ-104 for AZ-305, this comparison is particularly useful for understanding the extra knowledge or skills required to advance to the next level. Advantages for Students Defined Goals: The blueprint presents learners with a clear vision of what they are expected to master and achieve by the course’s end. Focused Learning: By spotlighting the course content and learning targets, it steers learners’ efforts towards essential areas, leading to more productive learning. Progress Tracking: The blueprint allows learners to track their advancement and assess their command of the course material. New Feature:A comprehensive list of topics for each slide deck is now available in a downloadable .xlsx file. Each entry includes a link to Learn and its dependencies.

Hello, I currently manage an infrastructure of approximately 100 VMs. I would like to perform activities on Azure such as: Installing/removing apps Viewing all installed apps on the VMs Adding shortcuts to the desktop Adjusting timezone/date and time I am looking for a solution that can handle these tasks, similar to what Workspace One does, but for Windows Servers. How do you currently manage these tasks? Thank you! Feel free to post this on the Microsoft forum. If you need any further assistance, let me know!
Azure Function App Network(Preview)
Trying to usedurable function while creating the azure function, we observe network is in preview state. Could anyone will suggest any how to make stable network fordurable function for function premium plan and app service plan. And why Function App is working on Networking (preview).Seeking Advice for Automating VMSS Scaling Based on On-Premises SQL Data
Hi everyone, I have a few VMSS (Virtual Machine Scale Sets) already configured to scale up and down based on predefined rules. Now, what I’m looking to achieve is to periodically run a query on my on-premises SQL database, and depending on the result (let’s say if the number is X), I want to automatically scale the VMSS accordingly (increase or decrease the number of instances). I’ve considered several approaches like using Azure Automation Account, Power Automate, or Azure Function for this. But I’m not sure what would be the most efficient way to implement it. Any ideas or suggestions on the best method to achieve this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for the help!On Managed Identities vs New Features - Azure Functions in Container App Environments
Why is it that Microsoft regresses on their own recommended best security practices in favor of realising new features? For instance, the recent integration to run function apps on Azure Container Environment sounds great! But wait, how do we connect to ACR to redeploy app when the image is updated, using Managed Identities? No no no, that would take to long to implement let us rather go back to using username and admin passwords ?! #smhAggregation of enterprise data and exporting large datasets to third parties
Assume a large organization with multiple applications/systems that may or may not be connected. All systems are currently on-prem. There are requirements to aggregate data from various sources (internal databases like DB2, MariaDB, PostgreSQL), export data to large data files (currently mostly XML) and send them to third parties in a secure fashion (currently SFTP). The legacy system responsible for doing this is at the end of its life. If I wanted to replace the legacy system with a cloud solution, 1. What kind a data store would be best, a data lake (or some other HDFS-based storage), a data warehouse (Stretch database?), CosmosDB, or something else? 2. What options are there for transfering data from on-prem OLTP databases to the cloud storage? I would prefer to avoid hard-to-maintain ETL-processes. Some kind of change feed would be preferred. 3. What options do I have for sharing the data files with third party partners from Azure storage? The partners don't necessarily have an Azure subscription so Azure Data Share isn't always an option?
Logic App (Consumption) connect to a Private network
I need to connect a consumption-tier Azure Logic App to an Azure SQL Database that is accessible only through a Private Endpoint. I'm unsure about the necessary configurations or permissions required. Would this setup work, or should I consider upgrading to a standard-tier Logic App? Any advice would be appreciated.What headless service can use for 40 to 50 microservices Application?
Hello Team, We have over forty microservices and are using Virtual Machine to deploy our Angular web application and Dot Net Core. Could you recommend a serverless architecture service that we should use to launch our application? The cost of the service should be lower than the VM design.
