Routing from a single public IP with Azure Firewall

April 23, 2019 Graeme Vermeulen 0

In Microsoft Azure, routing to the internet works slightly differently than it would on-premises. When you build a machine out of a catalogue, all you can choose is the subnet that it goes into. The networking is handled from the Azure portal, and when you connect onto that VM and browse the internet, you might notice you get a different IP each time / from each VM. Note: You get a lot more granularity with extra options if you build via PowerShell, however most admins will probably build it from the browser. Once the VM is built, you can make its IP address static as well as change the DNS servers. This would be the case if you wanted to […]

For a long while I have been pondering doing some kind of presentation at some VMUGs. They VMUG leaders have cornered me a few times to actually present, so finally I decided to do it and to pick some topics that I thought might be interesting. Since I have decided this year is going to me focusing on my presentation/soft skills, I thought presenting at VMUGs would be a good way to build up on that skill set and to help me along in my toastmasters journey. If it wasn’t for the community and the people I have met as a result, I wouldn’t be where I am at the moment, as with many things in life it is a […]
