Does webapps integrates with existing VMs on Azure? - azure

I have an existing linux VM on Azure that has PHP + MySql legacy system running on it
I also have a Flask Webapp running under same Azure subscription
is it possible to the Python WebApp reach the existing MySql database running on Linux VM using the existing internal network ?

It seems that you want to access MySql database on the Azure VM from Azure web app hosted in azure app service. If so, it's possible to integrate your app with an Azure Virtual Network.
You could have a quick start in that document, just note that there are two forms to the VNet Integration feature:
Reginal VNet integration. One version enables integration with VNets in the same region. Currently, this feature is still in preview but is supported for Windows app production workloads and Linux Web App for development and integration testing purposes. Read more details here.
Gateway required VNet Integration. The other version enables integration with VNets in other regions or with Classic VNets. This version requires the deployment of a Virtual Network Gateway into your VNet. It is only supported by Windows apps.
Additionally, Since VNet Integration is extended to use Azure container instance. For Linux web app, you could deploy it on Azure container instance in a VNet. See the template. This feature is currently in preview and you could know some limitations about deploying container instances into an Azure virtual network.
If your web app is hosting on other Azure services like Azure VM, you could use VNet to VNet connection or VNet peering or VPN connection to enable the communication between the two different virtual networks. Read more details here.
Hope this could help you.

Deploy from Azure VM

I have site to site VPN from my Azure VM to an on premise network.
May I know how can I deploy the code on Azure VM such that the site to site network stays?
Just for the sake clarity lets reiterate that A Site-to-Site VPN gateway connection is used to connect your on-premises network to an Azure virtual network over an IPsec/IKE (IKEv1 or IKEv2) VPN tunnel.
After site-to-site VPN is operational, network on both sides of VPN would be treated as one virtual network. This enables cross network accessibility of network resources as defined in access configuration.
Your questions needs clarity as I do not believe "the code deployment to a VM" would interfere "the network configuration" where the VM is housed.
It would be helpful if you could you add details to your question like error etc, in the meantime adding few pointers to get you started on VM creation and deployment.

Azure logic app with AS2 connector through VPN

I am currently setting up an Azure logic app with an AS2 connector.
Now I am being asked to connect to the partner via VPN. From googling I think that is possible to somehow add the logic app to a VNET and then setup a site-to-site VPN gateway.
It is my first time to work with either Logic apps or AS2.
Question:
Is it possible to setup an Azure logic app with AS2 connector that connects through a VPN?
How might I do it?
Yes, it's possible.
First of all, you need to connect to Azure virtual networks from Azure Logic Apps by using an integration service environment (ISE), With ISE, you deploy the Logic Apps service into your virtual network.
When you create a logic app or integration account, select your ISE as their location. Your logic app or integration account can then directly access resources, such as virtual machines (VMs), servers, systems, and services, in your virtual network. This virtual network can be an existing VNet that has a VPN connection to the partner or you can select an Azure VNet as a peer for your environment.
You may note those prerequisites before your deploy ISE, and your ISE needs four empty subnets that aren't delegated to any service. You also can optionally set up NSGs by filtering network traffic across subnets.
Here is a detailed explanation in this blog--Introducing Azure Logic Apps Integration Service Environment (ISE).

Can Azure Functions be deployed to a Vnet?

Can Azure Functions be deployed inside a VNet?
If I created an App Service environment in a VNet and then picked that App Service Plan when creating the Function, Would that mean that the Azure Function is deployed inside the VNet and have the same restrictions etc. as defined by the VNet?
Yes, you can host an Azure function on Azure App Service Environment which provides a fully isolated and dedicated environment for securely running App Service apps or your functions. You will have fine-grained control over inbound and outbound application network traffic. So it could be restricted by network security groups.
ASEs are isolated to running only a single customer's applications and
are always deployed into a virtual network. Customers have
fine-grained control over inbound and outbound application network
traffic. Applications can establish high-speed secure connections over
VPNs to on-premises corporate resources.
VNet Integration with Azure function is a feature to use Azure Functions to connect to resources in an Azure virtual network. VNet Integration is only for making outbound calls from your app into your VNet.
In this case, you just need to deploy your Azure function in a VNet with ASE instead of VNet integration. Read Services that can be deployed into a virtual network
Yes it can be deployed inside a VNet. I would recommend you to go through the documentation
integrate Functions with an Azure virtual network
An Azure Function can be deployed on an App Service Environment. The App Service Environment is deployed on your own VNET which can have access to on-prem resources via ExpressRoute.

How to configure an existing web app and virtual network in azure using the ARM template

I have a created a Web app in the Azure portal and i also have a virtual network with a vnet gateway attached to the virtual network.
Is it possible to integrate the vnet(with existing gateway) to the Azure Web app. If so how to do this with the help of ARM Template??
Also how to integrate the virtual network to Azure Web App in case if the virtual network is in another Resource group???
This should point you the right way .
If the vnet is in another resource group you might add the app server's service principal to that vnet to create it fully automated - If the vnet is one with your privileges it shouldn't matter though.

How can we connect our Azure service fabric cluster to on-premises service/ database?

We are in process of moving our on-premises services to service fabric and planning to host it on Azure Service Fabric cluster. These service will require access to resources which are on-premises (corp network) and we currently can not move them.
What are the options we have? In past, I've used Hybrid connection for Azure web app but I'm not sure how this can be done for services hosted with Azure Service Fabric.
Your cluster runs on nodes in a VM scale set. The nodes are connected using a VNet. Regular VPN rules apply.
So Point to site, site to site and express route should all work.
You'll need to use ARM to configure a cluster to run in an existing vnet.
