6. Windows Azure Virtual Network
• Your “virtual” branch office / datacenter in
the cloud
• Enables customers to extend their Enterprise
•
•
•
•
•
Networks
into Windows Azure
Networking on-ramp for migrating existing
apps
and services to Windows Azure
Enables “hybrid” apps that span
cloud/premises
A protected private virtual network in the cloud
Enables customers to setup secure private IPv4
networks fully contained within Windows Azure
IP address persistence

7. Virtual Network Features
• Customer-managed private virtual networks within Windows Azure
• “Bring your own IPv4 addresses”
• Control over placement of Windows Azure Roles within the network
• Stable IPv4 addresses for VMs
• Hosted VPN Gateway enables site-to-site connectivity
• Automated provisioning & management
• Support existing on-premises VPN devices
• Use on-premise DNS servers for name resolution
• Enables customers to use their on-premise DNS servers for name resolution
• Enables VMs running in Windows Azure to be joined to corporate domains running
on-premise (use your on-premise Active Directory)

8. The „virtual” branch office

9. Example: Contoso’s Deployment
(10.1.0.0/16)
(10.0.0.0/16)
10.2.2.0/24
131.57.23.120
10.2.3.0/24
65.52.249.22 10.1.0.4
10.1.1.4
10.0.0.10
10.0.0.11
(10.2.0.0/16)
10.2.2.0/24
10.2.3.0/24

10. Supported VPN Device List
• IKE v1
• AES 128, 256
• SHA1, SHA2

11. Gateway redundancy and availability
•
•
•
•
Only single IPsec tunnel supported per Virtual Network
Gateway tenant on Azure side has 2 instances (active-passive mode)
Only one public IP(v4) address for tunnel establishment
A pair of VPN devices can be a redundant pair using industry standard
protocols
• HSRP
• VRRP

18. VM disk layout (1)

19. VM disk layout (2)

20. VM disk layout (3)

21. Some tips on BYO Images
• Sysprep and “Generalize” is expected
• Do NOT put unattend.xml on the disk
• Do NOT install the Windows Azure Integration Components!

22. DEMO
Windows Azure Virtual Machines (Portal + App Controller)

23. Active Directory (on a VM) in Azure? (1)
• AD is Supported in Windows Azure Virtual Machines
• Capture/Imaging is not supported with DCs
• To make a new DC provision a VM and run promote it to be a DC

24. Active Directory (on a VM) in Azure? (1)
Contoso.com Active Directory
Extranet Active Directory
AD Auth
Load Balancer
Public IP

25. Windows Azure Backup

26. Windows Azure Backup
• Peace of mind – your server is backing up to the cloud! 
• Simple to manage
• familiar backup tools in Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials,
and the System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager
• Efficient and flexible
• incremental backups – only changes to files are transferred to the cloud
• efficient use of storage, reduced bandwidth usage, offers point-in-time recovery of
multiple versions of data
• configurable data retention policies, data compression and data transfer throttling
• How-to („a bit out-of-date” )
