Lab scenario

Your organization wants to ensure that access to virtual machines is restricted. As the Azure Administrator, you need to:

• Create and configure network security groups.
• Associate network security groups to virtual machines.
• Deny and allow access to the virtual machines by using network security groups.

Objectives

• Task 1: Create a virtual machine to test network security.
  • Create a Windows Server virtual machine.
  • Don't configure any inbound port rules or NIC network security groups.
  • Verify the virtual machine is created.
  • Review the Inbound port rules tab, and note there are no network security groups associated with the virtual machine.
• Task 2: Create a network security group, and associate the group with the virtual machine.
  • Create a network security group.
  • Associate the network security group with the virtual machine network interface (NIC).
• Task 3: Configure an inbound security port rule to allow RDP.
  • Verify you can't connect to the virtual machine by using RDP.
  • Add an inbound port rule to allow RDP to the virtual machine on port 3389.
  • Verify you can now connect to the virtual machine with RDP.
• Task 4: Configure an outbound security port rule to deny internet access
  • Verify you can access the internet from the virtual machine.
  • Add an outbound port rule to deny internet access from the virtual machine.
  • Verify you can no longer access the internet from the virtual machine.
