Creating a Virtual Private Network

Creating a Virtual Private Network

How does a private IP get allocated to- One a VM? of the available IP addresses is allocated as the VM is allocated! - The IP address remains the same as long as the VM is allocated. New: - You can statically set a private IP address to a VM (today only via PowerShell) - How? Configure a Static Internal IP Address (DIP) for a VM

Built-In Extensions by Microsoft (Demo Summary) BGInfo Extension Display useful server information to the desktop as a wallpaper VMAccess Extension Did you previously lost your IaaS VM password? Are the RDP settings of the VM broken? With VMAccess you can now reset the password and the username !!! Custom Script Extension Allows you to specify a powershell script file to run in the VM immediately after it’s created. http ://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazure/archive/2014/04/24/automating-vm-customization-tasks-using-custom-script-extension.aspx

EndPoint (Demo Summary) All VM within the same cloud service or VNET can automatically communicate to each other using a private network channel! All other inbound communication (such as traffic initiated from Internet hosts) requires an endpoint. Default Endpoints are created in order to remotely administer your machine Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Endpoint Windows OS PowerShell Endpoint Windows OS Secure Shell (SSH) Endpoint Linux OS Tip: it is possible to define ACL (Access Control List) at the Endpoint level (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/dn376541.aspx) Deny or permit traffic to the endpoint based on remote subnet IPv4 address range

Load Balanced Set (Demo Summary) mycloudservicednsname EndPoint Public Port (80) Local/Private Port (80) Protocol (TCP/UDP) Name http:// mycloudservicednsname.cloudapp.net:8 0 Cloud Service Public Port 80 LB Port 80 VM1 Port 80 VM2 Port 80 VM3 Single Public IP Per Cloud Service (VIP)

What’s new in Networking? How does a private IP address get allocated to a VM? - One of the available IP address is allocated as the VM is allocated - The IP address remains the same as long as the VM is allocated. New: - You can statically set a private IP address to a VM (today only via PowerShell) - How? Configure a Static Internal IP Address (DIP) for a VM Public IP Reservations (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn690120.aspx) - you can have static public IP addresses - up to 5 for free Instance-Level Public IP Addresses (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn690118.aspx) - Public address that can be assigned directly to the VM (rather than to the cloud service that your VM resides within) - i.e. (Outbound traffic originating from the VM goes out with PIP as the source and this uniquely identifies the VM to external entities) Internal Load Balancing support between VMs that don’t have public facing endpoints (enables to load-balance VM with a private IP address) - Accessible to VM within the same VNET or Cloud Service
