To provide a single host name that routes traffic based on the origin, you can use Azure Traffic Manager. This service allows you to route traffic to different endpoints based on various routing methods, including geographic routing.

Navigate to the Azure Portal.

Search for “Traffic Manager profiles” and select it.

Click on “Create”.

Enter the following details:

Name: Enter a name for the Traffic Manager profile (e.g., ContosoTrafficManager).

Routing method: Select Geographic.

Subscription: Select your subscription.

Resource group: Select an existing resource group or create a new one.

Resource group location: Choose a location (this does not affect the routing).

Click on “Create”.

Navigate to the newly created Traffic Manager profile.

Select “Endpoints” from the left-hand menu.

Click on “Add” to add a new endpoint.

Enter the following details:

Type: Select External endpoint.

Name: Enter a name for the endpoint (e.g., NewYorkEndpoint).

FQDN: Enter ny.contoso.com.

Geographic region: Select “World” (this will be adjusted later).

Click on “Add” to save the endpoint.

Repeat the process to add the second endpoint:

Type: Select External endpoint.

Name: Enter a name for the endpoint (e.g., GermanyEndpoint).

FQDN: Enter de.contoso.com.

Geographic region: Select Europe.

Navigate to the Traffic Manager profile.

Select “Configuration” from the left-hand menu.

Under “Geographic routing”, adjust the regions:

For the GermanyEndpoint, ensure that the geographic region is set to Europe.

For the NewYorkEndpoint, ensure that the geographic region is set to World (excluding Europe).

Use a DNS query tool to test the routing.

From a location in Germany, query the Traffic Manager profile’s DNS name and ensure it resolves to de.contoso.com.

From a location outside Europe, query the Traffic Manager profile’s DNS name and ensure it resolves to ny.contoso.com.

Azure Traffic Manager: This service uses DNS to direct client requests to the most appropriate endpoint based on the routing method you choose. Geographic routing ensures that traffic is directed based on the origin of the request.

Geographic Routing: This method allows you to route traffic based on the geographic location of the DNS query origin, ensuring that users are directed to the nearest or most appropriate endpoint.

Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: Create a Traffic Manager ProfileStep 2: Configure EndpointsStep 3: Adjust Geographic RoutingStep 4: Test the ConfigurationExplanationBy following these steps, you can provide a single host name that routes traffic to de.contoso.com for users in Germany and to ny.contoso.com for users from other locations, ensuring efficient and appropriate traffic management.

Here are the steps and explanations for ensuring that subnet4-3 can accommodate 507 hosts:

To determine the subnet size that can accommodate 507 hosts, you need to use the formula: number of hosts = 2^(32 - n) - 2, where n is the number of bits in the subnet mask1. You need to find the value of n that satisfies this equation for 507 hosts.

To solve this equation, you can use trial and error or a binary search method. For example, you can start with n = 24, which is the default subnet mask for Class C networks. Then, plug in the value of n into the formula and see if it is too big or too small for 507 hosts.

If you try n = 24, you get number of hosts = 2^(32 - 24) - 2 = 254, which is too small. You need to increase the value of n to get a larger number of hosts.

If you try n = 25, you get number of hosts = 2^(32 - 25) - 2 = 510, which is just enough to accommodate 507 hosts. You can stop here or try a smaller value of n to see if it still works.

If you try n = 26, you get number of hosts = 2^(32 - 26) - 2 = 254, which is too small again. You need to decrease the value of n to get a larger number of hosts.

Therefore, the smallest value of n that can accommodate 507 hosts is n = 25. This means that the subnet mask for subnet4-3 should be /25 or 255.255.255.128 in dot-decimal notation1.

To change the subnet mask for subnet4-3, you need to go to the Azure portal and select your virtual network. Then select Subnets under Settings and select subnet4-3 from the list2.

On the Edit subnet page, under Address range (CIDR block), change the value from /24 to /25. Then select Save2.

To ensure that only hosts on VNET1 can access the slcnage42150372 storage account and that access occurs over the Azure backbone network, you can use Azure Private Endpoints. This method secures the connection by assigning a private IP address from your virtual network to the storage account, ensuring that traffic does not traverse the public internet.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Create a Private Endpoint for the Storage Account

Navigate to the Azure Portal.

Search for “Storage accounts” and select the slcnage42150372 storage account.

In the storage account blade, select “Networking” under the “Security + networking” section.

Under “Private endpoint connections”, click on “Add private endpoint”.

Enter the following details:

Name: Enter a name for the private endpoint (e.g., PrivateEndpoint-VNET1).

Region: Select the same region as your virtual network (VNET1).

Click on “Next: Resource”.

Step 2: Configure the Resource

Select “Target sub-resource”: Choose the storage service you want to connect to (e.g., blob, file, queue, table).

Click on “Next: Virtual network”.

Step 3: Select the Virtual Network and Subnet

Select the virtual network: Choose VNET1.

Select the subnet: Choose the appropriate subnet within VNET1.

Click on “Next: Configuration”.

Step 4: Configure DNS Integration (Optional)

Configure DNS settings if needed to ensure proper name resolution within your virtual network.

Click on “Next: Tags”, add any tags if necessary, and then click on “Review + create”.

Review your settings and click on “Create”.

Step 5: Restrict Public Network Access

Navigate back to the storage account.

Select “Networking” under the “Security + networking” section.

Under “Firewalls and virtual networks”, select “Selected networks”.

Ensure that only VNET1 is listed under the virtual networks section.

Click on “Save”.

Explanation

Private Endpoints: These provide secure connectivity to Azure services by assigning a private IP address from your VNet to the service, ensuring that traffic stays within the Azure backbone network12.

Firewall and Virtual Networks: Configuring the storage account to allow access only from selected networks (VNET1) ensures that no other network can access the storage account3.

By following these steps, you can ensure that only hosts on VNET1 can access the slcnage42150372 storage account, and that all access occurs over the secure Azure backbone network.

Here are the steps and explanations for ensuring that requests for wwwjelecloud.com from any of your Azure virtual networks resolve to frontdoor1.azurefd.net:

To use a custom domain with your Azure Front Door, you need to create a CNAME record with your domain provider that points to the Front Door default frontend host. A CNAME record is a type of DNS record that maps a source domain name to a destination domain name1.

To create a CNAME record, you need to sign in to your domain registrar’s website and go to the page for managing DNS settings1.

Create a CNAME record with the following information1:

Source domain name: wwwjelecloud.com

Destination domain name: frontdoor1.azurefd.net

Save your changes and wait for the DNS propagation to take effect1.

To verify the custom domain, you need to go to the Azure portal and select your Front Door profile. Then select Domains under Settings and select Add2.

On the Add a domain page, select Non-Azure validated domain as the Domain type and enter wwwjelecloud.com as the Domain name. Then select Add2.

On the Domains page, select wwwjelecloud.com and select Verify. This will check if the CNAME record is correctly configured2.

Once the domain is verified, you can associate it with your Front Door endpoint. On the Domains page, select wwwjelecloud.com and select Associate endpoint. Then select your Front Door endpoint from the drop-down list and select Associate2.
