Important points

  • The Log Analytics workspace and the Recovery Services Vault don’t need to be in the same location when it comes to the storage of reports.
  • The Recovery Services Vault and the Azure Storage Account need to be in the same region.
  • When moving from Read-Access Geo-redundant storage to Zone-redundant storage, you first need to change the replication type to Locally-redundant storage.
  • In a Sync Group, you can have only one cloud endpoint
  • Virtual network and the Network Security Group need to be in the same region.
  • For accessing the file share, port 445 needs to be open.
  • nginx by default listens for HTTP requests on port 80
  • When a new VM is created in Azure, a public address is assigned to it by default with the SKU type Standard
  • Inbound NAT rules are used for port forwarding.
  • When it comes to storage accounts , they need to be in the same location as the Azure Recovery Services vault. And when it comes to a Log Analytics workspace, they can be in any location.
  • For each different location for the virtual machine, you need a separate Recovery services vault. The Recovery Services vault is location dependent.
  • Disks with Azure Disk Encryption are not supported with Azure Backup vault.
  • You can deploy containers based on both Windows and Linux-based operating systems on Azure Container Instances.
  • Currently Azure Container Apps supports only images based on the Linux operating system.
  • We need to have a rule in the NSG at both the subnet and network interface level to allow RDP traffic.
  • Health Probe Load balancing Rule.
  • For Traffic Analytics , we need to enable NSG flow logs.
  • When enabling replication for objects, the source storage account must have the following requirements. It must be either a General Purpose V2 or a Premium Block Blob account , It must have versioning enabled, It must have change feed enabled
  • A read-only lock restricts modifications to a resource but still allows read operations and certain administrative actions, such as moving the resource. This is because moving a resource in Azure does not inherently modify its configuration—it only updates its metadata to associate it with a different resource group.

Final checks

  • Storage account tier list and access levels
  • File shares
  • Container services
  • Default Ports assignments
  • Redundancy Tiers
  • Purge Protection
  • Same and different regions requirements.
  • User Defined Routes
  • Network Watcher
  • Az copy
