Create virtual networks for Azure HDInsight clusters

This article provides examples and code samples for creating and configuring Azure Virtual Networks. To use with Azure HDInsight clusters. Detailed examples of creating network security groups (NSGs) and configuring DNS are presented.

For background information on using virtual networks with Azure HDInsight, see Plan a virtual network for Azure HDInsight.

Prerequisites for code samples and examples

Before executing any of the code samples in this article, have an understanding of TCP/IP networking. If you aren't familiar with TCP/IP networking, consult someone before making modifications to production networks.

Other prerequisites for the samples in this article include the following items:

  • If you're using PowerShell, you need to install the AZ Module.
  • If you want to use Azure CLI and haven't yet installed it, see Install the Azure CLI.

Important

If you are looking for step by step guidance on connecting HDInsight to your on-premises network using an Azure Virtual Network, see How to connect HDInsight to your on-premises network.

Example: network security groups with HDInsight

The examples in this section demonstrate how to create network security group rules. The rules allow HDInsight to communicate with the Azure management services. Before using the examples, adjust the IP addresses to match the ones for the Azure region you're using. You can find this information in HDInsight management IP addresses.

Azure Resource Manager template

The following Resource Manager template creates a virtual network that restricts inbound traffic, but allows traffic from the IP addresses required by HDInsight. This template also creates an HDInsight cluster in the virtual network.

Azure PowerShell

Use the following PowerShell script to create a virtual network that restricts inbound traffic and allows traffic from the IP addresses for the North Europe region.

Important

Change the IP addresses for hdirule1 and hdirule2 in this example to match the Azure region you are using. You can find this information HDInsight management IP addresses.

$vnetName = "Replace with your virtual network name"
$resourceGroupName = "Replace with the resource group the virtual network is in"
$subnetName = "Replace with the name of the subnet that you plan to use for HDInsight"

This example demonstrates how to add rules to allow inbound traffic on the required IP addresses. It doesn't contain a rule to restrict inbound access from other sources. The following code demonstrates how to enable SSH access from the Internet:

Get-AzNetworkSecurityGroup -Name hdisecure -ResourceGroupName RESOURCEGROUP |
Add-AzNetworkSecurityRuleConfig -Name "SSH" -Description "SSH" -Protocol "*" -SourcePortRange "*" -DestinationPortRange "22" -SourceAddressPrefix "*" -DestinationAddressPrefix "VirtualNetwork" -Access Allow -Priority 306 -Direction Inbound

Azure CLI

Use the following steps to create a virtual network that restricts inbound traffic, but allows traffic from the IP addresses required by HDInsight.

  1. Use the following command to create a new network security group named hdisecure. Replace RESOURCEGROUP with the resource group that contains the Azure Virtual Network. Replace LOCATION with the location (region) that the group was created in.

    az network nsg create -g RESOURCEGROUP -n hdisecure -l LOCATION
    

    Once the group has been created, you receive information on the new group.

  2. Use the following to add rules to the new network security group that allow inbound communication on port 443 from the Azure HDInsight health and management service. Replace RESOURCEGROUP with the name of the resource group that contains the Azure Virtual Network.

    Important

    Change the IP addresses for hdirule1 and hdirule2 in this example to match the Azure region you are using. You can find this information in HDInsight management IP addresses.

    az network nsg rule create -g RESOURCEGROUP --nsg-name hdisecure -n hdirule1 --protocol "*" --source-port-range "*" --destination-port-range "443" --source-address-prefix "52.164.210.96" --destination-address-prefix "VirtualNetwork" --access "Allow" --priority 300 --direction "Inbound"
    az network nsg rule create -g RESOURCEGROUP --nsg-name hdisecure -n hdirule2 --protocol "*" --source-port-range "*" --destination-port-range "443" --source-address-prefix "13.74.153.132" --destination-address-prefix "VirtualNetwork" --access "Allow" --priority 301 --direction "Inbound"
    az network nsg rule create -g RESOURCEGROUP --nsg-name hdisecure -n hdirule3 --protocol "*" --source-port-range "*" --destination-port-range "443" --source-address-prefix "168.61.49.99" --destination-address-prefix "VirtualNetwork" --access "Allow" --priority 302 --direction "Inbound"
    az network nsg rule create -g RESOURCEGROUP --nsg-name hdisecure -n hdirule4 --protocol "*" --source-port-range "*" --destination-port-range "443" --source-address-prefix "23.99.5.239" --destination-address-prefix "VirtualNetwork" --access "Allow" --priority 303 --direction "Inbound"
    az network nsg rule create -g RESOURCEGROUP --nsg-name hdisecure -n hdirule5 --protocol "*" --source-port-range "*" --destination-port-range "443" --source-address-prefix "168.61.48.131" --destination-address-prefix "VirtualNetwork" --access "Allow" --priority 304 --direction "Inbound"
    az network nsg rule create -g RESOURCEGROUP --nsg-name hdisecure -n hdirule6 --protocol "*" --source-port-range "*" --destination-port-range "443" --source-address-prefix "138.91.141.162" --destination-address-prefix "VirtualNetwork" --access "Allow" --priority 305 --direction "Inbound"
    
  3. To retrieve the unique identifier for this network security group, use the following command:

    az network nsg show -g RESOURCEGROUP -n hdisecure --query "id"
    

    This command returns a value similar to the following text:

    "/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTIONID/resourceGroups/RESOURCEGROUP/providers/Microsoft.Network/networkSecurityGroups/hdisecure"
    
  4. Use the following command to apply the network security group to a subnet. Replace the GUID and RESOURCEGROUP values with the ones returned from the previous step. Replace VNETNAME and SUBNETNAME with the virtual network name and subnet name that you want to create.

    az network vnet subnet update -g RESOURCEGROUP --vnet-name VNETNAME --name SUBNETNAME --set networkSecurityGroup.id="/subscriptions/GUID/resourceGroups/RESOURCEGROUP/providers/Microsoft.Network/networkSecurityGroups/hdisecure"
    

    Once this command completes, you can install HDInsight into the Virtual Network.

These steps only open access to the HDInsight health and management service on the Azure cloud. Any other access to the HDInsight cluster from outside the Virtual Network is blocked. To enable access from outside the virtual network, you must add more Network Security Group rules.

The following code demonstrates how to enable SSH access from the Internet:

az network nsg rule create -g RESOURCEGROUP --nsg-name hdisecure -n ssh --protocol "*" --source-port-range "*" --destination-port-range "22" --source-address-prefix "*" --destination-address-prefix "VirtualNetwork" --access "Allow" --priority 306 --direction "Inbound"

Example: DNS configuration

Name resolution between a virtual network and a connected on-premises network

This example makes the following assumptions:

  • You have an Azure Virtual Network that is connected to an on-premises network using a VPN gateway.

  • The custom DNS server in the virtual network is running Linux or Unix as the operating system.

  • Bind is installed on the custom DNS server.

On the custom DNS server in the virtual network:

  1. Use either Azure PowerShell or Azure CLI to find the DNS suffix of the virtual network:

    Replace RESOURCEGROUP with the name of the resource group that contains the virtual network, and then enter the command:

    $NICs = Get-AzNetworkInterface -ResourceGroupName "RESOURCEGROUP"
    $NICs[0].DnsSettings.InternalDomainNameSuffix
    
    az network nic list --resource-group RESOURCEGROUP --query "[0].dnsSettings.internalDomainNameSuffix"
    
  2. On the custom DNS server for the virtual network, use the following text as the contents of the /etc/bind/named.conf.local file:

    // Forward requests for the virtual network suffix to Azure recursive resolver
    zone "0owcbllr5hze3hxdja3mqlrhhe.ex.internal.cloudapp.net" {
        type forward;
        forwarders {168.63.129.16;}; # Azure recursive resolver
    };
    

    Replace the 0owcbllr5hze3hxdja3mqlrhhe.ex.internal.cloudapp.net value with the DNS suffix of your virtual network.

    This configuration routes all DNS requests for the DNS suffix of the virtual network to the Azure recursive resolver.

  3. On the custom DNS server for the virtual network, use the following text as the contents of the /etc/bind/named.conf.options file:

    // Clients to accept requests from
    // TODO: Add the IP range of the joined network to this list
    acl goodclients {
        10.0.0.0/16; # IP address range of the virtual network
        localhost;
        localnets;
    };
    
    options {
            directory "/var/cache/bind";
    
            recursion yes;
    
            allow-query { goodclients; };
    
            # All other requests are sent to the following
            forwarders {
                192.168.0.1; # Replace with the IP address of your on-premises DNS server
            };
    
            dnssec-validation auto;
    
            auth-nxdomain no;    # conform to RFC1035
            listen-on { any; };
    };
    
    • Replace the 10.0.0.0/16 value with the IP address range of your virtual network. This entry allows name resolution requests addresses within this range.

    • Add the IP address range of the on-premises network to the acl goodclients { ... } section. entry allows name resolution requests from resources in the on-premises network.

    • Replace the value 192.168.0.1 with the IP address of your on-premises DNS server. This entry routes all other DNS requests to the on-premises DNS server.

  4. To use the configuration, restart Bind. For example, sudo service bind9 restart.

  5. Add a conditional forwarder to the on-premises DNS server. Configure the conditional forwarder to send requests for the DNS suffix from step 1 to the custom DNS server.

    Note

    Consult the documentation for your DNS software for specifics on how to add a conditional forwarder.

After completing these steps, you can connect to resources in either network using fully qualified domain names (FQDN). You can now install HDInsight into the virtual network.

Name resolution between two connected virtual networks

This example makes the following assumptions:

  • You have two Azure Virtual Networks that are connected using either a VPN gateway or peering.

  • The custom DNS server in both networks is running Linux or Unix as the operating system.

  • Bind is installed on the custom DNS servers.

  1. Use either Azure PowerShell or Azure CLI to find the DNS suffix of both virtual networks:

    Replace RESOURCEGROUP with the name of the resource group that contains the virtual network, and then enter the command:

    $NICs = Get-AzNetworkInterface -ResourceGroupName "RESOURCEGROUP"
    $NICs[0].DnsSettings.InternalDomainNameSuffix
    
    az network nic list --resource-group RESOURCEGROUP --query "[0].dnsSettings.internalDomainNameSuffix"
    
  2. Use the following text as the contents of the /etc/bind/named.config.local file on the custom DNS server. Make this change on the custom DNS server in both virtual networks.

    // Forward requests for the virtual network suffix to Azure recursive resolver
    zone "0owcbllr5hze3hxdja3mqlrhhe.ex.internal.cloudapp.net" {
        type forward;
        forwarders {10.0.0.4;}; # The IP address of the DNS server in the other virtual network
    };
    

    Replace the 0owcbllr5hze3hxdja3mqlrhhe.ex.internal.cloudapp.net value with the DNS suffix of the other virtual network. This entry routes requests for the DNS suffix of the remote network to the custom DNS in that network.

  3. On the custom DNS servers in both virtual networks, use the following text as the contents of the /etc/bind/named.conf.options file:

    // Clients to accept requests from
    acl goodclients {
        10.1.0.0/16; # The IP address range of one virtual network
        10.0.0.0/16; # The IP address range of the other virtual network
        localhost;
        localnets;
    };
    
    options {
            directory "/var/cache/bind";
    
            recursion yes;
    
            allow-query { goodclients; };
    
            forwarders {
            168.63.129.16;   # Azure recursive resolver
            };
    
            dnssec-validation auto;
    
            auth-nxdomain no;    # conform to RFC1035
            listen-on { any; };
    };
    

    Replace the 10.0.0.0/16 and 10.1.0.0/16 values with the IP address ranges of your virtual networks. This entry allows resources in each network to make requests of the DNS servers.

    Any requests that aren't for the DNS suffixes of the virtual networks (for example, microsoft.com) is handled by the Azure recursive resolver.

  4. To use the configuration, restart Bind. For example, sudo service bind9 restart on both DNS servers.

After completing these steps, you can connect to resources in the virtual network using fully qualified domain names (FQDN). You can now install HDInsight into the virtual network.

Test your settings before deploying an HDInsight cluster

Before deploying your cluster, you can check that many of your network configuration settings are correct by running the HDInsight Network Validator tool on an Azure Linux virtual machine in the same virtual network and subnet as the planned cluster.
