This module deploys a spoke network using the Microsoft recommended Hub-Spoke network topology. Usually, only one hub in each region with multiple spokes and each of them can also be in separate subscriptions.
If you are deploying the spoke VNet in the same Hub Network subscription, then make sure you have set the argument
is_spoke_deployed_to_same_hub_subscription = true. This helps this module to manage the network watcher, flow logs and traffic analytics resources for all the subnets in the Virtual Network. If you are deploying the spoke virtual networks in separate subscriptions, then set this argument tofalse.
This is designed to quickly deploy hub and spoke architecture in the azure and further security hardening would be recommend to add appropriate NSG rules to use this for any production workloads.
These types of resources are supported:
- Virtual Network
- Subnets
- Subnet Service Delegation
- Virtual Network service endpoints
- Private Link service/Endpoint network policies on Subnet
- AzureNetwork DDoS Protection Plan
- Network Security Groups
- Routing traffic to Hub firewall
- Peering to Hub Network
- Azure Monitoring Diagnostics
- Network Watcher
- Network Watcher Workflow Logs
- Linking Hub Private DNS Zone

}By default, this module will create a resource group and the name of the resource group to be given in an argument resource_group_name. If you want to use an existing resource group, specify the existing resource group name, and set the argument to create_resource_group = false.
If you are using an existing resource group, then this module uses the same resource group location to create all resources in this module.
By default, this module will not create a DDoS Protection Plan. You can enable/disable it by appending an argument create_ddos_plan. If you want to enable a DDoS plan using this module, set argument create_ddos_plan = true
This is an optional feature and only applicable if you are using your own DNS servers superseding default DNS services provided by Azure.Set the argument dns_servers = ["4.4.4.4"] to enable this option. For multiple DNS servers, set the argument dns_servers = ["4.4.4.4", "8.8.8.8"]
This module handles the creation and a list of address spaces for subnets. This module uses for_each to create subnets and corresponding service endpoints, service delegation, and network security groups. This module associates the subnets to network security groups as well with additional user-defined NSG rules.
This module creates 2 subnets by default: Application Subnet and Database Subnet and both subnets route the traffic through the firewall if hub_firewall_private_ip_address argument set else all traffic will forward to VNet.
Service Endpoints allows connecting certain platform services into virtual networks. With this option, Azure virtual machines can interact with Azure SQL and Azure Storage accounts, as if they’re part of the same virtual network, rather than Azure virtual machines accessing them over the public endpoint.
This module supports enabling the service endpoint of your choosing under the virtual network and with the specified subnet. The list of Service endpoints to associate with the subnet values include: Microsoft.AzureActiveDirectory, Microsoft.AzureCosmosDB, Microsoft.ContainerRegistry, Microsoft.EventHub, Microsoft.KeyVault, Microsoft.ServiceBus, Microsoft.Sql, Microsoft.Storage and Microsoft.Web.
Recommendation: It is recommended to set as few service endpoints as possible on Spoke subnets. Storage Endpoint is useful and doesn't clutter the firewall logs. Besides, add other endpoints if those are absolutely necessary.

}Network policies, like network security groups (NSG), are not supported for Private Link Endpoints. In order to deploy a Private Link Endpoint on a given subnet, you must set the private_endpoint_network_policies_enabled attribute to true. This setting is only applicable for the Private Link Endpoint, for all other resources in the subnet access is controlled based via the Network Security Group which can be configured using the azurerm_subnet_network_security_group_association resource.
This module Enable or Disable network policies for the private link endpoint on the subnet. The default value is false. If you are enabling the Private Link Endpoints on the subnet you shouldn't use Private Link Services as it's conflicts.

}By default, the network security groups connected to all subnets and only allow necessary traffic also block everything else (deny-all rule). Use nsg_inbound_rules and nsg_outbound_rules in this Terraform module to create a Network Security Group (NSG) for each subnet and allow it to add additional rules for inbound flows.
In the Source and Destination columns, VirtualNetwork, AzureLoadBalancer, and Internet are service tags, rather than IP addresses. In the protocol column, Any encompasses TCP, UDP, and ICMP. When creating a rule, you can specify TCP, UDP, ICMP or *. 0.0.0.0/0 in the Source and Destination columns represents all addresses.
You cannot remove the default rules, but you can override them by creating rules with higher priorities.

}This module handle the provision of Network Watcher resource by defining create_network_watcher variable. It will enable network watcher, flow logs and traffic analytics for all the subnets in the Virtual Network. Since Azure uses a specific naming standard on network watchers, It will create a resource group NetworkWatcherRG and adds the location specific resource.
Platform logs in Azure, including the Azure Activity log and resource logs, provide detailed diagnostic and auditing information for Azure resources and the Azure platform they depend on. Platform metrics are collected by default and typically stored in the Azure Monitor metrics database. This module enables to send all the logs and metrics to either storage account, event hub or Log Analytics workspace.
To peer spoke networks to the hub networks requires the service principal that performs the peering has Network Contributor role on hub network. Linking the Spoke to Hub DNS zones, the service principal also needs the Private DNS Zone Contributor role on hub network. If Log Analytics workspace is created in hub or another subscription then, the service principal must have Log Analytics Contributor role on workspace or a custom role to connect resources to workspace.
This module facilitates to link the spoke VNet to private DNS preferably created by Hub Module. To create a link to private DNS zone, set the domain name of the private DNS zone with variable private_dns_zone_name. This will always set automatic registration of records to true.
Applying tags to your Azure resources, resource groups, and subscriptions to logically organize them into a taxonomy. Each tag consists of a name and a value pair. For example, you can apply the name Environment and the value Production to all the resources in production.
For recommendations on how to implement a tagging strategy, see Resource naming and tagging decision guide.
Important : Tag names are case-insensitive for operations. A tag with a tag name, regardless of the casing, is updated or retrieved. However, the resource provider might keep the casing you provide for the tag name. You'll see that casing in cost reports. Tag values are case-sensitive.
An effective naming convention assembles resource names by using important resource information as parts of a resource's name. For example, using these recommended naming conventions, a public IP resource for a production SharePoint workload is named like this: pip-sharepoint-prod-westus-001.
