I have created an API Manager Service (AMS) in Azure with its subnet.
I have created a Virtual Machine with Ubuntu that exposes some APIs on the port 8000. It has a public IP and an internal IP (10.0.1.5). This is the network configuration.
I don't want a public IP on this machine. What I want is that only the AMS speaks with the Virtual Machine to expose the API.
I can't find a way to create a private network (or external network in the AMS point of view) between the AMS and the virtual machine. In the network configuration of the virtual machine, the AMS subnet is not available.
In a normal network I would create a NAT between the 2 subnets but in Azure I don't know how to do it.
Do you have any advice?
Create a Virtual network first in some region . Then , while creating APIM services go to the Virtual network tab and select type as external instead of none and select the same Virtual network that you have created earlier.
Once the APIM service is deployed then create a VM and while creating the VM go to the networking tab and select the same virtual network that you have used in APIM but different subnet for the VM (as APIM and VM cannot use same subnet , it is not supported in azure) . You can add a new subnet in the same Vnet for using it in the VM by going to the VNet resource you have created and in Subnets page clicking on add subnet.
(Note : All the resources must be in same region)
After this configuration is done the resources can communicate which are present inside the VNet even if they have different subnets. As by default resources under the same vnet can communicate in azure.

I have created a Virtual Network next to its subnet and integrated it into three service applications and created the rule on the firewall of my SQL Azure server.
Everything is in the same Azure subscription and region
I need to know if it is enough to direct all the traffic between these instances through the virtual network or do I need to configure some other aspect.
And how can I query the data traffic to verify that the virtual network is being used?
Azure Virtual Network (VNets) allows to place Azure resources in a non-internet-routable network.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/example-scenario/private-web-app/private-web-app#architecture
Using Azure App Service regional VNet Integration, the web app connects to Azure through an AppSvcSubnet delegated subnet in an Azure Virtual Network.
Virtual Network only routes traffic and is otherwise empty, but other subnets and workloads could also run in the Virtual Network.
The App Service and Private Link subnets could be in separate peered Virtual Networks, for example as part of a hub-and-spoke network configuration. For regional VNet Integration, the peered Virtual Networks must be located in the same Azure region.
Azure Private Link sets up a private endpoint for the Azure SQL database in the PrivateLinkSubnet of the Virtual Network.
The web app connects to the SQL Database private endpoint through the PrivateLinkSubnet of the Virtual Network.
The database firewall allows only traffic coming from the PrivateLinkSubnet to connect, making the database inaccessible from the public internet.
Why do we have to create a new subnet or add the app service to an empty subnet in our vnet?
I don't understand the reasoning since I'm trying to use my app service (function app) as a reverse proxy to access the resources in the vnet.
By default, the Azure function is a PaaS as the other Azure Platform-as-a-Services that have inbound and outbound traffic over the Internet. We can host our applications without the need to worry about the maintenance of the servers and their operating systems.
To use Azure Functions to connect to resources in an Azure virtual network, we can use the VNet integration feature. To use this feature, we need to create a subnet in the virtual network for your function app to use. VNet Integration must be configured to use an empty subnet. It doesn't matter that your functions use a different subnet than your VM. The virtual network automatically routes traffic between the two subnets. Read Connect your function app to the virtual network
The extra empty subnet is used to hosting your app instance. To let the app instance outbound traffic work like from a VNet, Azure mounts NICs with assigned private IP addresses in that subnet. With VNet integration, your function app is connected to both the internet and your virtual network.
For more information, you may read How regional VNet Integration works and How gateway-required VNet Integration works
For an app to access resources in a Virtual Network, it needs to be either part of that network, or use a VPN gateway, which in turn can be used access resources inside the Virtual Network.
App Services provides 2 methods to communicate with resources in the Virtual Network:
Regional VNet Integration
Gateway-Required VNet Integration
With Regional VNet Integration, the infrastructure allocates a private IP interface on the VM that is hosting your Web App. This interface is allocated an IP address from the integrated subnets address prefix. This interface is later used to communicate with the VNet hosted resources. This is in a way similar to how IaaS VM work, however the limitation of this interface is that it can be only used for making outbound connections.
This way, if the ASP is configured to scale out to multiple VM's then each VM is allocated a corresponding private IP interface. However, the allocation of these IP address is limited to the subnets Address prefix. Nancy has already included this in her post. App Services have overlapped recycling so during scale up/maintenance, the App Service Plan may run on twice the number of VM's to ensure minimal downtime. However this also means, that the Integrated Subnet should have sufficient addresses available, so that these allocations can happen.
The IP Address of this interface is exposed via the environment variable WEBSITE_PRIVATE_IP. Here is a screenshot of my Kudu Console
If your site is running on multiple instances, then you can use the Instance menu to toggle through the instances.
With Gateway-required VNet Integration, there is a pre-requisite of provisioning a Virtual Network route-based gateway configured with an SSTP point-to-site VPN. In this case, the VM's hosting the Web App download the VPN package on the respective VM's to setup a VPN, and this is used to connect to the resources in the Virtual Network.
Even here, you can use the WEBSITE_PRIVATE_IP environment variable to see the IP Address used by the VPN client on the App Service VM.

I've created windows server virtual machine with active directory controller and my web app is communicating with it on public ip successfully (by ldap), but when i try connect to ldap on private ip (virtual network) it does not respond
to my Web app i have set VNet Configuration
my virtual machine network tab:
But it does not work when i try to connect to ldap://10.0.1.4:389
What should i do?
I can't even test my connection between webapp (by tcpping) and vm neither on public and private ip
i couldn't add to my webapp vnet integration on 10.0.1.0/24 because there was written that this subnet is already in use (or sth like that)
what should i type when i do vnet integration?
VNet Integration with Azure web app is required a dedicated unused subnet for the network connection. The subnet should be a subnet where no other resources like Azure VM located.
Your configuration is correct. You could follow these troubleshooting steps to verify if the VNet integration is working well. You can test via port 3389 on Azure VM. In my case, there is not a DC deployed on Azure VM.
However, please note that
There are some things that VNet Integration doesn't support, like:
Mounting a drive.
Active Directory integration.
NetBIOS.
Thus, I suppose Idap does not work with VNet Integration.
heh...
i've created second virtual network, and integrated web app with it...
next i have connected my second virtual network to first and... everything works great, ping's are < 1 ms...
that's a bit embarassing that it did not work when both web app and virtual machine were in one virtual network and i don't know why
We already have created two virtual machines in the North Europe region.
Now, I want to add these two machines in Application Gateway, but as per Azure documents while creating an Application gateway one cannot use a virtual network with existing VMs in it.
Is there a way around to create an Application gateway in the same network as VMs?
You can create Application Gateway and the VM in the same VNET.
VNET can have multiple subnets. When you deploy Application Gateway, you need to specify a Subnet and you are not supposed to deploy VMs in the same subnet where Application Gateway resides.
So create a new subent and place your VM or if the VMs already exists, you create a new subnet for your Application Gateway.
I am trying to create virtual machine (VM) in Azure using ARM templates. In classical model of IAAS, we can create a virtual machine without virtual network in cloud service. Similar to classical model i don't want to put VM in virtual network.
Does anyone tried to create vm without virtual network in Azure resource manager.
Thanks in advance.
V2Vms, i.e. Resource manager VMs have a dependency on a network card, which has a dependency on a subnet.
A VNet is used to provide DHCP and Security Group services to the VM. Without it a VM couldn't obtain an IP Address.
It is not possible to create an Azure VM without a vnet, in the same way that it was not possible to create a V1Vm without a cloud service.
