First, we’ll test the application rule; then, we’ll test the network rule. To test the firewall rules, we’ll connect a remote desktop using the firewall’s public IP address, which is NATed to Workload-1. From there, we’ll use a browser to test the application rule and connect a remote desktop to Workload-2 to test the network rule. It is important to remember, as with all testing, firewall testing is essential to maintaining a secure network and mustn’t be overlooked.</p>https://chiefdennis.github.io/projects/configure_deploy_azure_fw_manager_2/Sat, 09 Mar 2024 08:43:16 +0100https://chiefdennis.github.io/projects/configure_deploy_azure_fw_manager_2/<p>For part 2 of the series, we will deploy our workloads/servers. This process is similar as to any virtual machine deployment in the Azure Cloud.</p> <h3 id="deploy-the-servers"> Deploy the servers <a class="heading-link" href="#deploy-the-servers"> <i class="fa-solid fa-link" aria-hidden="true" title="Link to heading"></i> <span class="sr-only">Link to heading</span> </a> </h3> <p>Deploying servers involves setting up and preparing a server to host and run applications or services. When discussing deploying servers in a cloud environment, this process often consists of creating and configuring virtual machines, setting up network connectivity and security, and installing and configuring software, all done within the cloud provider&rsquo;s management interface or using infrastructure as code (IaC) tools such as Terraform.</p>
