In Azure Data Factory it is possible to create 3 types of Integration Runtimes using the Portal:
Azure
Azure-SSIS
Self-hosted
But looking at Terraform documentation site for the AzureRM provider it is only possible to create an Azure-SSIS (azurerm_data_factory_integration_runtime_managed) and self-hosted (azurerm_data_factory_integration_runtime_self_hosted).
Have anyone successfully created a default Azure IR connected to a virtual network as specified in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/managed-virtual-network-private-endpoint using Terraform?
No, not really, unfortunately AzureRM provider doesn't allow it yet.
Also it can't be done using Azure CLI for Data Factory or similar.
Main reason may be the public-preview of Azure Data Factory Managed Virtual Network.
What is new though (and part of the solution) is public_network_enabled property on ADF, you still have to define private endpoint, but that's one step forward.
By default if you are not specifying the Integration runtime resource of data factory from terraform, it picks the Azure (Auto resolve) Runtime by default.

I am using Linked Template to deploy ARM template in Target env, While deploying I am storing the templates in blob contaier using “Azure File Copy” and generating URL and SAS token for the container.
But As my Storage account is configured via VNet/Subnet private endpoint, My ARM template deployment task is failing to download the Templates from the storage account.
I am checking for a workaround here, Please help me as soon as possible.
If you use Microsoft-hosted agents, please refer to this doc: Allowed address lists and network connections to configure your VNet/Subnet.
If you use private agents in pipeline, it will access to your Storage account via local network, please make sure that the local network can access to your Storage account.
In addition, you need to set up valid Azure Resource Manager service connection when using this Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Template Deployment Task.
I have successfully created a runtime in DataFactory and have stuff running.
When I go to create another runtime in Azure Purview, it prompts to remove or repair which results in the lose of the ADF one. How can I utilise the same runtime on multiple services.?
I came across this documentation which details how I can create shared runtime but only within the ADF.
Did I miss something? Given that runtime is defined as The Microsoft Integration Runtime is a customer managed data integration and scanning infrastructure used by Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure Purview to provide data integration and scanning capabilities across different network environments. Shouldn't it be cross service detectable?
Looks you could not use the same runtime with DataFactory and Azure Purview.
From the doc - Known limitations of self-hosted IR sharing:
The sharing feature works only for data factories within the same Azure AD tenant.
From the Note in this Azure Purview doc:
The Purview Integration Runtime cannot be shared with an Azure Synapse Analytics or Azure Data Factory Integration Runtime on the same machine. It needs to be installed on a separated machine.
I would like to know how we need to define the resource in ARM template for enabling the Diagnostics extension on Cloud service deployed. In the examples that i came across, i could see it only for Virtual Machines with IaasDiagnostics. But i couldnt find anything on enabling the diagnostics on cloud service(PaaSDiagnostics).
Thanks in Advance
ARM template is used to deploy and provision all of the resources for your application in a single, coordinated operation, which is only available in Azure Resource Manager while Cloud Service is in Azure Service Manager, so you could not use cloud service in ARM template.
You could look at Create a Windows Virtual machine with monitoring and diagnostics using Azure Resource Manager Template to enable diagnostics in ARM template.
In Azure there are 2 options available to create virtual machines.
A. normal VM
B. Classic VM
Does anybody know what is the difference between both option? When do we use one over other?
Short answer to your question is Normal VM or Virtual Machines is the new way of deploying your Virtual Machines whereas Classic VM or Virtual Machines (Classic) is the old way of deploying them. Azure is pushing towards the new way of deploying resources so the recommendation would be to use it instead of old way. However please keep in mind that there're some features which are available in the old way that have not been ported on to the new way so you just have to compare the features offered and only if something that you need is not available in new way, you use the old way.
Now comes the long answer :)
Essentially there's a REST API using which you interact with Azure Infrastructure.
When Azure started out, this API was called Service Management API (SMAPI) which served its purpose quite well at that time (and to some extent today). However as Azure grew, so does the requirements of users and that's where SMAPI was found limiting. A good example is access control. In SMAPI, there was access control but it was more like all-or-none kind of access control. It lacked the granularity asked by users.
Instead of patching SMAPI to meet user's requirement, Azure team decided to rewrite the entire API which was much simpler, more robust and feature rich. This API is called Azure Resource Manager API (ARM). ARM has many features that are not there in SMAPI (my personal favorite is Role-based access control - RBAC).
If you have noticed that there are two Azure portals today - https://manage.windowsazure.com (old) and https://portal.azure.com (new). Old portal supports SMAPI whereas new portal supports ARM. In order to surface resources created via old portal into new portal (so that you can have a unified experience), Azure team ended up creating a resource provider for old stuff and their names will always end with (Classic) so you will see Virtual Machines (Classic), Storage Accounts (Classic) etc. So the resources you create in old portal can be seen in the new portal (provided the new portal supports them) but any resources you create in the new portal using ARM are not shown in the old portal.
The Azure Virtual Machine (classic) is based on the old Azure Service Management Model (ASM). Which revolved around the concept of a cloud service. Everything was contained inside a cloud service, and that was the gateway to the internet. While it is still used (extensively) Azure is now moving over to the Azure Resource Management Model (ARM).
ARM uses the concept of declarative templates to configure an entire solution (rather than individual components) So you can create an entire Sharepoint stack, rather than just a singular machine.
ARM also has a much more logical approach to networking. Instead of having a monolithic VM in an obscure cloud service. You have a VM, that you attach a network card to. You can then put the Network card into a VNet and attach a public IP (if you need one)
Unless you have a compelling reason to use ASM (classic) You should create your solution using ARM. As this is the MS recommendation going forward (todo find a link to that) It also means that you can create templates for your deployments, so you can have a repeatable solution.
On the negative, the old portal manage.windowsazure.com can not manage anything that is deployed using ARM, and there are still parts of ASM that haven't been migrated over to ARM yet. For instance you cannot configure Azure VM backup, since Azure backup is ASM and it can't 'see' ARM VMs
It very largely depends on your circumstances though, what it is you are planning for, the method you are going to deploy with. If you are just looking to stand a machine up to do a single task, it makes very little difference. If you are looking to deploy into an environment that will have some concepts of DevOps going forward, then ARM is the way to go.
The one big differences is for resource management. For that new version is called Azure Resource Manager VM (ARM VM).
ARM VM is better in terms of;
Classic VM must be tied with Cloud Service, and Cloud Service consumes resource limitation and not-so-flexible network configuration.
ARM VM is managed under Azure Resource Manager (ARM) which can be organized with/without other Azure services. ARM is like a folder of Azure services, and it gives you more fine-grained resource management.
Classic VM can be migrated to ARM VM version, but you have to afford service downtime. To migrate from classic VM, read the official article: Considerations for Virtual Machines.
Azure provides two deploy models now: Azure Resource Manager(Normal) and Azure Service Management(Classic) and some important considerations you should care when working Virtual Machines.
Virtual machines deployed with the classic deployment model cannot be included in a virtual network deployed with Resource Manager.
Virtual machines deployed with the Resource Manager deployment model must be included in a virtual network.
Virtual machines deployed with the classic deployment model don't have to be included in a virtual network.
I want to configure an ILB for my Azure Cloud Service, similar to discussed in this article https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/load-balancer-internal-getstarted/
- but using the .Net SDK instead of powershell. (Also I have some conceptual confusion about the article/powershell maybe people will be able to explain. For VM scenario you have to explicitly create the ILB, but it seems like for cloud service you do not - is it already created, or automatically created? Why are New-AzureVM commandlets being used in a cloud service context?)
Documentation has been updated
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/load-balancer-get-started-ilb-classic-cloud/
Or are you looking for a C# sample?
You should probably not be using cloud services. These are being deprecated. Just use v2 - Azure Resource Manager (portal.azure.com) and create a load balancer instead of a cloud service. Regardless, in v1 (Azure Service Management), when you create a VM, you automatically get a cloud service if you don't have one already - which is why new-azurevm is being used in cloud service context.
