IP Address Requirements Virtual Machines deployed into a virtual network have an infinite DHCP lease (not static but effectively the same thing) Deploy apps in the cloud that requires Active Directory Hybrid On-Premises Cloud Apps Requirement for connectivity between your data center and the public cloud Connectivity between cloud services Connecting a PaaS to IaaSService (for better performance / there are apps that have dependencies on resources that require VM such as SharePoint, SQL Server, Active Directory,…) Does Your App Need a Virtual Network?

Howdoes a private IP getallocatedto a VM? - One 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? Configurea 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 powershellscript 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 • Blacklist IP addresses, …

What’snew 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 • How ? Internal Load balancing / Configure an internalload-balancedset
