Quickstart samples
The following quickstart samples deploy this resource type.
| Bicep File | Description |
|---|---|
| Create a Firewall and FirewallPolicy with Rules and Ipgroups | This template deploys an Azure Firewall with Firewall Policy (including multiple application and network rules) referencing IP Groups in application and network rules. |
| Create a sandbox setup of Azure Firewall with Linux VMs | This template creates a virtual network with 3 subnets (server subnet, jumpbox subet and AzureFirewall subnet), a jumpbox VM with public IP, A server VM, UDR route to point to Azure Firewall for the Server Subnet and an Azure Firewall with 1 or more Public IP addresses, 1 sample application rule, 1 sample network rule and default private ranges |
| Create a sandbox setup of Azure Firewall with Zones | This template creates a virtual network with three subnets (server subnet, jumpbox subnet, and Azure Firewall subnet), a jumpbox VM with public IP, A server VM, UDR route to point to Azure Firewall for the ServerSubnet,an Azure Firewall with one or more Public IP addresses, one sample application rule, and one sample network rule and Azure Firewall in Availability Zones 1, 2, and 3. |
| Create an Azure Firewall with IpGroups | This template creates an Azure Firewall with Application and Network Rules referring to IP Groups. Also, includes a Linux Jumpbox vm setup |
| Create an Azure Firewall with multiple IP public addresses | This template creates an Azure Firewall with two public IP addresses and two Windows Server 2019 servers to test. |
| Create sandbox of Azure Firewall, client VM, and server VM | This template creates a virtual network with 2 subnets (server subnet and AzureFirewall subnet), A server VM, a client VM, a public IP address for each VM, and a route table to send traffic between VMs through the firewall. |
| Secured virtual hubs | This template creates a secured virtual hub using Azure Firewall to secure your cloud network traffic destined to the Internet. |
| SharePoint Subscription / 2019 / 2016 fully configured | Create a DC, a SQL Server 2022, and from 1 to 5 server(s) hosting a SharePoint Subscription / 2019 / 2016 farm with an extensive configuration, including trusted authentication, user profiles with personal sites, an OAuth trust (using a certificate), a dedicated IIS site for hosting high-trust add-ins, etc... The latest version of key softwares (including Fiddler, vscode, np++, 7zip, ULS Viewer) is installed. SharePoint machines have additional fine-tuning to make them immediately usable (remote administration tools, custom policies for Edge and Chrome, shortcuts, etc...). |
| Testing environment for Azure Firewall Premium | This template creates an Azure Firewall Premium and Firewall Policy with premium features such as Intrusion Inspection Detection (IDPS), TLS inspection and Web Category filtering |
| Use Azure Firewall as a DNS Proxy in a Hub & Spoke topology | This sample show how to deploy a hub-spoke topology in Azure using the Azure Firewall. The hub virtual network acts as a central point of connectivity to many spoke virtual networks that are connected to hub virtual network via virtual network peering. |

This template creates an Azure Firewall with two public IP addresses and two Windows Server 2019 servers to test. |
| Create sandbox of Azure Firewall, client VM, and server VM |
This template creates a virtual network with 2 subnets (server subnet and AzureFirewall subnet), A server VM, a client VM, a public IP address for each VM, and a route table to send traffic between VMs through the firewall. |
| Secured virtual hubs |
This template creates a secured virtual hub using Azure Firewall to secure your cloud network traffic destined to the Internet. |
| SharePoint Subscription / 2019 / 2016 fully configured |
Create a DC, a SQL Server 2022, and from 1 to 5 server(s) hosting a SharePoint Subscription / 2019 / 2016 farm with an extensive configuration, including trusted authentication, user profiles with personal sites, an OAuth trust (using a certificate), a dedicated IIS site for hosting high-trust add-ins, etc... The latest version of key softwares (including Fiddler, vscode, np++, 7zip, ULS Viewer) is installed. SharePoint machines have additional fine-tuning to make them immediately usable (remote administration tools, custom policies for Edge and Chrome, shortcuts, etc...). |
| Testing environment for Azure Firewall Premium |
This template creates an Azure Firewall Premium and Firewall Policy with premium features such as Intrusion Inspection Detection (IDPS), TLS inspection and Web Category filtering |
| Use Azure Firewall as a DNS Proxy in a Hub & Spoke topology |
This sample show how to deploy a hub-spoke topology in Azure using the Azure Firewall. The hub virtual network acts as a central point of connectivity to many spoke virtual networks that are connected to hub virtual network via virtual network peering. |
