I want to make my Web App available in China

Aviad Pineles 20

I would like to make my Azure Web App available in China, there are several resources involved, (SQL DB, Vault, Web App, etc.) I read here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/china/overview-connectivity-and-interoperability that China Express is the best option. How would I go about this? Thanks!

@Aviad Pineles , Thanks for posting this question.

Based on my understanding of you scenario/ask, along with the connectivity and interoperability consideration - here's a list designed to look into the aspects you need to check before moving workloads to Azure in China: Azure in China checklist

Just to highlight, ExpressRoute is not supported for direct network connectivity to an external (outside of China) site. Even Azure global is considered external.

Azure Docs for China (in Chinese) supplies technical content adapted for Azure in China. For products and services available in Azure in China, refer to products available by region.

Having mentioned that, here are the high-level steps to set up Azure China Express Route:

1. Choose an Express Route connectivity provider

2. Create an Express Route circuit

3. Configure your on-premises network

4. Configure your Azure resources

5. Test your connectivity

I understand you have referred to the these relevant docs, also suggest you check out all the info outlined in the Azure in China Playbook

Thank you ajkuma, assuming I went over the checklists and I believe that I am ready, what would be the first step you would recommend I take to achieve this?

Is it to call premium support?

Would I be able to use my existing resources in China (App Service, SQL DB, etc) or would I have to create copies?

Thanks again

Typically, you will be able to access the workloads. However, more info about your resources would be helpful to better understand your setup.

Can workloads deployed on Azure in China be accessed anywhere globally? Yes, you can access your workloads deployed on Azure in China anywhere globally. For quick and immediate assistance for critical workloads, I suggest you to contact support.

I don't intend to deploy resources in Azure China, I just want my existing web app to be available in China.

Thanks for the follow-up and additional clarity. Yes, you can connect between Azure global regions and Azure in China regions. (existing webapp accessible in China) You may connect subscriptions in Azure in China and Azure global regions through composite VPN site-to-site or ExpressRoute( as you mentioned its the best option for your requirement) . You connect the subscription in the Azure in China region with your on-premises site, and connect your on-premises site to your subscription in the Azure global region. Post a detailed assessment of your requirement/setup, as requested, for immediate assistance for critical workloads, I suggest you to contact support.
