Azure Networking
This article describes the configuration of Azure network resources used by Syskit Point.
Please note! By default, the Front-end and Back-end app services are accessible from the Public Internet. The rest of the utilized Azure resources – Key Vault, Azure SQL Server, Azure Cosmos DB and Storage Account - are secured behind firewalls and private connections.
When deploying Syskit Point, there are two options available when considering Azure network resources:
Deploy Syskit Point from Azure Marketplace
consider this to be your 'plug-and-play' option
new Azure network resources are automatically created and configured when you deploy Syskit Point, without the need to perform additional configuration
Syskit Point is ready to use and secured after the deployment
Deploy a custom ARM template
use when you want to integrate Syskit Point into already existing Azure network resources
custom ARM templates are used when deploying Syskit Point
no Azure network resources are created when deploying Syskit Point through custom ARM templates
Syskit Point is ready to use but not secured after the deployment – additional configuration of Azure network resources is required
Please note! For use cases requiring custom deployment and manual configuration of Azure network resources, don't hesitate to contact us to provide you with custom ARM templates.
Architecture Diagram
When Syskit Point is deployed from Azure Marketplace, a virtual network is created named point-vnet, with three subnets:
fe-subnet
be-subnet
default-subnet
The subnets have Network security groups associated with the default rules applied. By default, inbound traffic is denied and outbound traffic is allowed. If you wish to limit outbound traffic, please contact us.
The following applies to fe-subnet:
takes up 3 IP addresses + 5 Azure reserved addresses
used by a Front-end app service that provides end-users with a web interface
accessible from the Public Internet
The following applies to be-subnet:
takes up 3 IP addresses + 5 Azure reserved addresses
used by a Back-end app service responsible for retrieving data from a Microsoft 365 tenant by utilizing several Microsoft APIs
accessible from the Public Internet
The following applies to default-subnet:
takes up 11 IP addresses + 5 Azure reserved addresses
used by the following Azure resources:
Key Vault
Azure SQL Server
Azure Cosmos DB
Storage Account – Blob
Storage Account – File
secured with private connections for each resource
Please note! As the Front-end and Back-end app services are accessible from the Public Internet by default, use Azure App Service access restrictions to add another layer of security to Syskit Point app services.
