[NDCOslo2024] Hub-Spoke Virtual Networks in Azure – Bastiaan Wassenaar
In the labyrinthine landscape of Azure’s azure architecture, where connectivity contends with compliance, Bastiaan Wassenaar, a cloud custodian and connectivity connoisseur, clarifies the conundrum of hub-spoke virtual networks. As a Dutch devops dynamo, Bastiaan blueprints the bedrock—endpoints, peering, policies—propelling practitioners past perplexities in private provisioning. His session, a symphony of safeguards and setups, spotlights the saga from service sentinels to spoke sanctuaries, ensuring egress elegance and ingress integrity.
Bastiaan banters on boredom’s behalf: vnet vexations vex veterans, yet victory vaults with vigilance. He heralds history: vnet’s 2014 genesis, endpoints’ evolution, private peers’ precision—pivoting from public perils to partitioned paradises.
Foundations of Fortification: Endpoints and Evolutions
Service endpoints erect ramparts: subnet sentries shielding storage, SQL sans sprawl. Bastiaan bewails bandwidth burdens—10Gbps ceilings—yet blesses them as basics, bridging to private endpoints’ purity: dedicated daisy-chains, DNS delegations demystified.
Hub-spoke’s heartbeat: central hub harboring firewalls, spokes siphoning spokes—peering propagates prefixes, UDRs usher unicast. Bastiaan blueprints: Azure Firewall’s fabric, forced tunneling fortifying flows.
Orchestrating the Orbit: Peering, Policies, and Proxies
Peering’s pact: global gateways, transitive taboos—spokes supplicate hubs for harmony. Bastiaan bemoans BGP’s burdens—bidirectional broadcasts—yet bows to basics: static routes suffice for simplicity.
Policies propel protection: NSGs nestle at NICs, FW’s finesse filters flows. Bastiaan broadcasts best bets: hub’s hegemony, spokes’ seclusion—egress egressing exclusively, ingress inspecting intently.
DNS’s Dominion: Delegations and Dilemmas
DNS dances delicately: private endpoints’ FQDNs, hub’s handlers hijacking queries. Bastiaan bemoans blunders—external IPs eclipsing internals—yet extols overrides: custom configurations, conditional forwarding.
His hack: hosts’ hacks for haste, yet hub’s hegemony harmonizes hordes. Bastiaan broadcasts: reboot realms for resolution—vnet’s vicissitudes vanquished.
Victory’s Vista: Vigilance in Vastness
Bastiaan’s benediction: hub-spoke as haven, harmonizing hazards—history heeded, hurdles hurdled. His hurrah: harness helpers, heed heuristics—Azure’s arsenal awaits.
