This tracks investigation of what extensions the core team should go an implement, as we consider them to be foundational building blocks that many folks will be interested in.

Working on an idea for an extension that will allow the user to turn off network access to certain things such as Databases and Storage accounts (as these cannot just be turned on/off like web services can).

Using the Virtual Network sdk we may be able to achieve this through routing and more specifically route tables. It is poorly documented on the REST API side but the Azure portal version has decent docs so I think abstracting it over to the rest interface shouldn't be too hard.

Maybe using the Azure Service Management would be better https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/azure-asm-network/ipforwardingoperations~ipforwardingoperations?view=azure-node-latest
