Topologies

High Level View of Topology

We will create 4 Virtual Networks - VNETCloud, VNETOnPrem, VNETCloud2 & VNETCloud3 as shown below.

Virtual Network VNETOnPrem will represent on-premises Datacentre.

We will connect VNETCloud and VNETOnPrem using Virtual Network Gateway and S2S VPN over Internet connectivity.

We will connect VNETCloud to VNETCloud2 & VNETCloud3 using Virtual Network Peering. The peering connectivity will be over Azure Backbone Network.

VNETCloud Topology

Virtual Network VNETCloud will be our main Virtual Networks for all labs in all the Chapters.

We will create below Topology using Virtual Network VNETCloud. It will have Four Subnets - Web-Subnet, DB-Subnet, DMZ-Subnet and GatewaySubnet.

DB-Subnet, DMZ-Subnet and GatewaySubnet are not shown because of space constraint.

Students will create the topology as they progress through Chapter Labs.

Most of the Resources in this topology were created in Resource Group RGCloud.

Azure Portal was used to create resources in this topology.

VNETOnPrem Topology

Virtual Network VNETOnPrem will represent on-premises Datacentre.

We will create below Topology using Virtual Network VNETOnPrem. It will have two Subnets - OnPrem-Subnet and GatewaySubnet.

Virtual Machine VMAD will be created in Virtual Network VNETOnPrem. Following will be installed or enabled on Virtual Machine VMAD.

Active Directory Domain services (AD DS) role
Azure File Sync Agent
Azure Backup Agent
Azure Site Recovery (ASR) Mobility Service Extension
Azure AD Connect
AD Connect Health Agent

Resources in this topology were created in Resource Group RGOnPrem. Azure Portal was used to create resources in this topology.

Lab Exercises using Azure CLI and PowerShell

Labs in Chapter 22, 23, 24 & 25 were done using Azure CLI and PowerShell. I used Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell Installed on my desktop.

Readers are requested to go through C hapter 21 Installing Azure PowerShell Module & Azure CLI before proceeding with labs using Azure CLI and PowerShell.

All Lab resources using Azure CLI were created in Resource Group HKCLI and Virtual Network VNETCLI.

All Lab resources using Azure PowerShell were created in Resource Group HKPS and Virtual Network VNETPS.

I did these labs separately from Lab exercises using Azure Portal. Readers can proceed as per their comfort factor with Azure CLI and PowerShell.
