Learn Azure Administration

By: Kamil Mrzygłód

Overview of this book

Microsoft Azure is one of the upcoming cloud platforms that provide cost-effective solutions and services to help businesses overcome complex infrastructure-related challenges. This book will help you scale your cloud administration skills with Microsoft Azure. Learn Azure Administration starts with an introduction to the management of Azure subscriptions, and then takes you through Azure resource management. Next, you'll configure and manage virtual networks and find out how to integrate them with a set of Azure services. You'll then handle the identity and security for users with the help of Azure Active Directory, and manage access from a single place using policies and defined roles. As you advance, you'll get to grips with receipts to manage a virtual machine. The next set of chapters will teach you how to solve advanced problems such as DDoS protection, load balancing, and networking for containers. You'll also learn how to set up file servers, along with managing and storing backups. Later, you'll review monitoring solutions and backup plans for a host of services. The last set of chapters will help you to integrate different services with Azure Event Grid, Azure Automation, and Azure Logic Apps, and teach you how to manage Azure DevOps. By the end of this Azure book, you'll be proficient enough to easily administer your Azure-based cloud environment.

Single region

For the single-region integration method, we need to have at least two VNets in the same region. To make things simpler, we deploy them to a single resource group. The creation of all of the required resources can be done via the following commands from the Azure CLI:

$ az group create -l "West Europe" -n "azureadministratorvnets-euw-rg"
$ az network vnet create -g "azureadministratorvnets-euw-rg" --name "vnet1" --address-prefixes "10.0.0.0/24"
$ az network vnet create -g "azureadministratorvnets-euw-rg" --name "vnet2" --address-prefixes "10.1.0.0/24"

It is important to make sure that the IP ranges do not overlap, as this will prevent you from continuing with this section. In the preceding code block, I used two different commands:

  • az group create: This will create a resource group in a particular region.
  •  az network vnet: This command will create a VNet with the desired parameters.
