Troubleshooting user defined routes in Azure
In this blog, we will discuss how to troubleshoot the user-defined route in Azure. I have faced this issue in one of my projects. Typically when you want to test the traffic from a specific VM you will have to log in to the VM and see the output of the Traceroute command and it becomes cumbersome if you have so many routes because now you have to log in to each VM to verify whether the routes are working correctly or not. Another problem is that even if the routes are not working traceroute will not show why it is not working. So if you do not know why routes are not working you can not fix anything. To overcome this issue I wrote a small script that can be used as it is by changing the parameters and it will display the connectivity status (success or failure) if there is an issue then this script will also show what is causing that issue.
Azure landing zone design best practices
Recently I have come across a requirement to design the Azure landing zone for a customer who wants to migrate their workloads from on-premise to Azure. This article explains the best practices implemented in Azure landing zone design.
Retrieve Azure VM details by using PowerShell.
Suppose you built a large environment in Azure with more than 1000 Virtual machines. Now we need to provide the Virtual Machine details to the customer(or raise the SNOW ticket) and it is very difficult to collect each VM detail manually from Azure Portal. Also, there can be another use case if you want to verify the VMs to compare with each other to ensure all the VMs are created the same way. For example, the Cache setting for all the VMs should be Read /Write. You may also want to grab details of all the data disks and OS disks and their size, name info, and cache settings. This script grabs all the info in one shot and exports it into a CSV file for further manipulation.Let’s dive in.
