Introduction Azure Firewall Terraform is often introduced as a simple security component, but in real Azure architectures it plays a much deeper role. Most Azure environments eventually reach a point where everything appears to work. Virtual networks are deployed. Subnets are separated. Network Security Groups are configured. Virtual machines can …
Introduction This guide explains how to configure Azure RBAC Terraform VM storage access so a Virtual Machine can securely access Azure Blob Storage using Managed Identity. At first glance, accessing Azure Blob Storage from a Virtual Machine looks straightforward. You deploy a VM, create a storage account, and expect everything …
Introduction Azure hub spoke private endpoint Terraform setups are where simple designs start to break. In a previous article, I showed how to build hub-and-spoke routing in Azure using Terraform/OpenTofu modules. That setup introduced a key idea: Hub-and-spoke is not about peering. It is about controlling traffic flow. But that …
Introduction Azure network segmentation Terraform is a key pattern used to define boundaries and control traffic in hub-and-spoke architectures. In previous articles, we explored how to connect VNets, control routing, and enforce outbound traffic using forced tunneling. At this point, the architecture may look complete: VNets are connected Traffic is …
Introduction This article demonstrates Azure forced tunneling Terraform in a practical hub-and-spoke architecture. Azure forced tunneling with Terraform is a key pattern used to control outbound traffic in hub-and-spoke architectures. In the previous article, we introduced routing between spokes using a central Virtual Appliance. Traffic between VNets was no longer …
Introduction Azure hub spoke routing Terraform is a common pattern used to solve one of the key limitations of Azure VNet peering. In the previous article, we built a clean hub-and-spoke topology using Azure VNet peering.At first glance, everything looked correct — VNets were connected, and communication seemed possible. But …
In this guide, we explore how Azure VNet peering Terraform works in real-world hub-and-spoke architectures. When engineers start building hub-and-spoke architectures in Azure, there is one assumption that almost always appears: If both spokes are connected to the hub, they should be able to communicate with each other. That assumption …
Azure infrastructure Terraform is often presented as a set of individual resources — but real platforms are built as connected architectural layers. When engineers start working with Azure and Terraform, most examples focus on individual resources. A Virtual Network here. A VM there. Maybe a Load Balancer on top. But …
In this guide we explore how to deploy Azure Private DNS Terraform and why it forms the architectural foundation behind Private Endpoints and private platform services. When engineers start working with private networking in Azure, they usually begin with Private Endpoints. They deploy a storage account, create a private endpoint, …
Private workloads still need the internet.Not for exposure — but for controlled, auditable outbound traffic. In Azure, outbound connectivity is often treated as an afterthought — yet Azure NAT Gateway Terraform provides a clean, architecture-grade way to design outbound identity for private subnets. In production platforms, the real architectural question …
