Azure Migration with PaaS Solutions
Question
Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements.
You are planning a strategy to deploy numerous web servers and database servers to Azure.
This strategy should allow for connection types between the web servers and database servers to be controlled.
Solution: You include a local network gateway in your strategy.
Does the solution meet the goal?

A. B.B
The given scenario states that there are multiple Azure virtual machines in an Azure environment, and the goal is to make a specific virtual machine named VM1 accessible from the internet over HTTP. The proposed solution is to modify an Azure firewall.
An Azure firewall is a cloud-based network security service that allows or denies access to Azure resources. It is designed to protect Azure virtual networks and can be used to filter network traffic for both inbound and outbound traffic.
However, modifying an Azure firewall alone is not sufficient to make a virtual machine accessible from the internet over HTTP. An Azure firewall can be used to control network traffic for a virtual network, but it does not directly enable access to a specific virtual machine.
To make a virtual machine accessible from the internet over HTTP, the following steps can be taken:
- Assign a public IP address to the virtual machine.
- Create an inbound security rule to allow HTTP traffic on port 80 in the network security group associated with the virtual machine.
- Ensure that the appropriate endpoints are open on the virtual machine's operating system firewall to allow HTTP traffic.
Therefore, the solution proposed in the question is not sufficient to meet the goal. The correct answer is B. No.
The solution mentioned in the question, which includes a local network gateway, can help to control the connection types between the web servers and database servers in Azure. Therefore, the solution satisfies the requirement and the correct answer is option A: Yes.
A local network gateway is an Azure resource that can be used to connect an on-premises network to an Azure virtual network over a VPN connection. It acts as the gateway between the on-premises network and the virtual network and can be used to control the connection types between the web servers and database servers.
With the use of a local network gateway, you can set up a site-to-site VPN connection between your on-premises network and the Azure virtual network, which can provide secure connectivity and help to control the types of connections between the web servers and database servers. You can configure the local network gateway to allow only specific traffic to pass through the VPN connection, such as traffic between the web servers and database servers.
Therefore, including a local network gateway in the strategy to deploy web servers and database servers to Azure would meet the requirement for controlling the connection types between the two types of servers.
