Enterprise Integration with Azure Logic Apps

By: Matthew Bennett

Overview of this book

Logic Apps are a visual flowchart-like representation of common programming actions, and are a flexible way to create logic without writing a single line of code. Enterprise Integration with Azure Logic Apps is a comprehensive introduction for anyone new to Logic Apps which will boost your learning skills and allow you to create rich, complex, structured, and reusable logic with instant results. You'll begin by discovering how to navigate the Azure portal and understand how your objects can be zoned to a specific environment by using resource groups. Complete with hands-on tutorials, projects, and self-assessment questions, this easy-to-follow guide will teach you the benefits and foundations of Logic App logic design. As you advance, you'll find out how to manage your Azure environment in relation to Logic Apps and how to create elegant and reliable Logic Apps. With useful and practical explanations of how to get the most out of Logic App actions and triggers, you'll be able to ensure that your Logic Apps work efficiently and provide seamless integration for real-world scenarios without having to write code. By the end of this Logic Apps book, you'll be able to create complex and powerful Logic Apps within minutes, integrating large amounts of data on demand, enhancing your systems, and linking applications to improve user experience.

SQL connection web gateways

To connect with the on-premises network, a perimeter network proxy server or third-party supplier account is required. This provides a heavily secured access point in the form of your corporate network's public-facing IP address. The job of the proxy is for it to be configured with a set of rules to determine if the incoming traffic is from a trusted source and using a trusted connection port. From here, it can route the traffic internally to our local, on-premises database server. Here, we are establishing an end-to-end, encrypted, authenticated tunnel that allows Azure resources to access and be accessible from the on-premises network.

Creating a web gateway to an on-premises network is beyond the scope of this book, but I will point out how to add one to your connection profile, should you intend to access on-premises resources:
