Quickstart templates
The following quickstart templates deploy this resource type.
| Template | Description |
|---|---|
Deploy a Hub and Spoke topology sandbox |
This template creates a basic hub-and-spoke topology setup. It creates a Hub VNet with subnets DMZ, Management, Shared and Gateway (optionally), with two Spoke VNets (development and production) containing a workload subnet each. It also deploys a Windows Jump-Host on the Management subnet of the HUB, and establishes VNet peerings between the Hub and the two spokes. |
| Public Load Balancer chained to a Gateway Load Balancer |
This template allows you to deploy a Public Standard Load Balancer chained to a Gateway Load Balancer. The traffic incoming from internet is routed to the Gateway Load Balancer with linux VMs (NVAs) in the backend pool. |
| Deploy HBase replication with two VNets in one region |
This template allows you to configure aN HBase environment with two HBase clusters within two VNets in the same region for configuring HBase replication. |
| Use Azure Firewall as a DNS Proxy in a Hub & Spoke topology |
This sample show how to deploy a hub-spoke topology in Azure using the Azure Firewall. The hub virtual network acts as a central point of connectivity to many spoke virtual networks that are connected to hub virtual network via virtual network peering. |
| Create an Azure Firewall sandbox with forced tunneling |
This template creates an Azure Firewall sandbox (Linux) with one firewall force tunneled through another firewall in a peered VNET |
| Deploy a Bastion host in a hub Virtual Network |
This template creates two vNets with peerings, a Bastion host in the Hub vNet and a Linux VM in the spoke vNet |
| Peer two existing VNets within a single region |
This template allows you to connect two VNETs from the same or different resource groups in the same region using VNet Peering |
| Create a vNet to vNet connection using vNet Peering |
This template allows you to connect two vNets using vNet Peering |
