Azure ARM Templates for Deploying a VNET, subnets, DNS, Expressroute, and VPN

Azure resource manager templates for deployments to the Azure cloud. There are 3 templates available. Each Template does differnet networking models, but do the following commmon tasks:

• Create VNET
• Create subnets inside the VNET
• Setup private DNS servers for the VNET subnets

There are then 3 differnet networking options:

• IPSec VPN only from VNET to your private data center/campus
• Expressroute only from VNET to your private data center/campus
• Expressroute + IPSec VPN from VNET to your private data center/campus

This template allows you to create a VNET with subnets, custom DNS, and ipsec VPN to an existing Azure resource group. NOTE: Resource group must be created first.

This allows the complete fresh or incremental creation of a VNET with subnets in a single region as part of a resource group.

Steps

1. azure config mode arm
2. azure group create -n "MY-VNET-RG" -l "West US"
3. Select your deployment approach for template and parameter files:

Http URI + local current dir for params file:

http://github.com/raw/path/to/template/azuredeploy.json -e \
azuredeploy.parameters.json \
-g MY-VNET-RG -n MY-VNET-DEPLOYMENT -vv```


Local current dir for template & params file:
-----------------------------------------------
```azure group deployment create -g MY-VNET-RG1 -n MY-VNET-DEPLOYMENT -vv -f \
azuredeploy.json -e \
azuredeploy.parameters.json```  



Troubleshoot a deployment:
----------------------------

azure group log show MY-VNET-RG --last-deployment

azure group log show MY-VNET-RG --json | jq -r ".[] | select(.status.value == "Failed") | .properties.statusMessage"

azure group log show MY-VNET-RG --json | jq '.[] | select(.status.value == "Failed")'

azure group deployment show --resource-group MY-VNET-RG --name MY-VNET-DEPLOYMENT
