Network Security Groups

• This is used to filter the network traffic.
• It processes the security rules based on priority
• Consider the following inbound security rules in the NSG

• Now consider the following nsg attached to network interface of the virtual machine
• Use case 1: User from source 183.183.183.183 is try to establish ssh connection:
  • The connection will be denied as the security rules have no rule matching 22 port
• Use case 2: A virtual machine from the same vnet is trying to connect to the vm with the above rules:
  • Default Security rules allow all traffic from with in vnet.

Scenario – Simple Ntier-Architecture

• Consider the following ntier architecture
  
• Lets create a NSG for vms in
  • Web subnet which should allow all the traffic
    • on port 80 and 22 from anywhere
    • on any port with in the vnet
  • Db & business subnet which allows all the traffic with in the vnet.
• We need to create 3 subnets in a vnet
• In Each subnet create a vm and attach the suitable nsg
• Web NSG
  
  
  
• privatensg: create a nsg and don’t change any rules stick to default nsg security rules
• Lets create a vnet with 3 subnets
  
• Lets create the following vms ubuntu 20.04 in
  • db
    
  • business
  • web
    
• To connect to db server / business server you need to first ssh into web server and then ssh from web into business/db server.
• Any server which is connected to public network and helps you connecting to the private machines/vm is generally referred as
  • jump box
  • bastion host
