Our organization is considering the deployment of testing VM's for Azure DevLabs.
To work with the internal API, we need to include the virtual machine in the private network of our organization (with Active Directory). Is there any way to do this?
Usually , we can integrate on-premises AD with Azure by Installing a replica Active Directory domain controller in an Azure virtual network.
If you want to join your VM to your On-premise AD or Integrate your on-premises directories with the DC VMs in your Devlab, You need to create a Site-to-Site VPN between your VNet in your Devlab and On-premise. The main steps for using VNet in Devlab are below:
Go to Azure portal > Select your Devlab > Configuration and policies > Virtual Networks > Add > Select a VNet in your Devlab resource group> Enable the required options > Save
Create a Devlab VM with the VNet you have created (You can use private IP for it).
Create a a Site-to-Site VPN between your VNet in your Devlab and On-premise.
Configure DNS Server for the VNet. You can use the IP of your On-premise DC for it.
Then the VMs in Devlab are integrated with your on-premise private network. You can try to download RDP file from portal and try to RDP it from its private IP address to test it.
VMs in Devlab is different from others, I didn't test this, but it should work. Because the VMs just use VNet, and the Vnet can connect your private Network.

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.

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.
I have an Azure VM with inside custom vpn to 172.254.254.0/24 route.
I am able to reach that VM from another azure VM adding an "user route" to a "route table" in that VM. It works perfectly.
Now I have an Azure App Services web application.
I need to add the route above too.
But I am stuck I am not able to do it.
Integrate your app with an Azure Virtual Network
The VNet Integration feature has two variations.
Regional VNet Integration - When connecting to Resource Manager VNets in the same region, you must have a dedicated subnet in the VNet you are integrating with.
Gateway required VNet Integration - When connecting to VNets in other regions or to a Classic VNet in the same region you need a Virtual Network gateway provisioned in the target VNet.
Gateway required VNet Integration only provides access to resources in the target VNet or in networks connected to the target VNet with peering or VPNs. Gateway required VNet Integration doesn't enable access to resources available across ExpressRoute connections or works with service endpoints.

I have a Azure Web app and API App which are accessing some services from network which is connected to Client's network via old (classic) portal.This networks is already connected to client and Created in Classic portal.
While Creating Web/API App in new portal i am not able to connect to this existing network. Is there any way i can connect these apps to classic portals network?
Is there any way i can connect these apps to classic portals network?
Yes, but VNet Integration only works with apps in a Standard, Premium, or Isolated pricing plan. If your WebApp service plan is not in the Standard+ service plan, please have try to scale your App Service Plan to support it. We could get the details steps about how to enable VNet Integration from the Azure official document. The following is the snippet from the document.
Note:
If your target virtual network already exists, it must have point-to-site VPN enabled with a Dynamic routing gateway before it can be connected to an app. If your gateway is configured with Static routing, you cannot enable point-to-site Virtual Private Network (VPN).
The VNet must be in the same subscription as your App Service Plan(ASP).
The apps that integrate with a VNet use the DNS that is specified for that VNet.
By default your integrating apps only route traffic into your VNet based on the routes that are defined in your VNet.
Enabling VNet Integration with a pre-existing VNet
The VNet Integration UI allows you to select from a list of your VNets. The Classic VNets indicate that they are such with the word "Classic" in parentheses next to the VNet name. The list is sorted such that the Resource Manager VNets are listed first. In the image shown below you can see that only one VNet can be selected. There are multiple reasons that a VNet can be grayed out including:
the VNet is in another subscription that your account has access to
the VNet does not have Point to Site enabled
the VNet does not have a
dynamic routing gateway

I am attempting to link my Azure AD to a Network to enable Azure Directory Services. I have created a network but every time I try to enable the Azure Directory Services no networks show up under the 'CONNECT DOMAIN SERVICES TO THIS VIRTUAL NETWORK' dropdown menu. Does anyone know what might be causing this issue?
According to your description, I guess you create your virtual network in Azure new portal(ARM module).
For now, Azure AD Domain Services cannot be enabled in virtual networks created using Azure Resource Manager.
In your scenario, I think we should use VNet peering or site-to-site VPN to connect classic Vnet and ARM vnet. You can connect a Resource Manager-based virtual network to the Azure classic virtual network in which you have enabled Azure AD Domain Services. This connection enables you to use the managed domain with your workloads deployed in the Resource Manager-based virtual network.
More information about select a virtual network for AD DS, please refer to the link.
We want to run MongoDB and some custom services on Azure Iaas VMs and connect to them with our roles but we do not want to have public IP exposure on the VMs.
If possible what is the best way of doing this?
If not possible is this on the roadmap?
We can add the VM's under the same cloud service and they can communicate happily, the roles are in same deployment so they communicate, but issue between the vm's and roles. We appreciate that the Iaas stuff is still in preview.
Thanks
If you have your Windows Azure Web/Worker Role and Windows Azure Virtual Machine in the same DC you can access them directly using internal IP address using Virtual Networking (Vnet) using internal Endpoints. To achieve it first you would need to create a Virtual Network and then add your Virtual Machine to this VNet. VNet will give your internal IP address and your Web/Worker Role can communicate to this internal IP address.
You can not do mix mode deployment directly from Windows Azure Preview Portal (it is not supported in preview yet) however you can use PowerShell VNet cmdlets to get it configured and working. To need further assistance with VNet team you can contact them directly here.
