Azure Networking Management

Overview

Using Python to provide a modularized management of Azure network. It simplifies tasks such as creating Virtual Networks (VNets), deploying Virtual Machines (VMs), managing Network Security Groups (NSGs), and more.

Modularity

Architecture

• Azure VNet Module: Handles Virtual Network (VNet) creation and management..
• Azure VM Module: Manages Virtual Machine (VM) deployment and configuration.
• Azure NSG Module: Facilitates Network Security Group (NSG) creation and rules management.
• Azure Subnet Module: Supports subnet creation and configuration within VNets.
• Azure Virtual Network Gateway (VNG) Module: Provides functionality for managing virtual network gateways for secure network connections.
• Azure Route Table Module: Manages route tables and associations with subnets for network traffic routing.
• Azure Scale Set Module: Facilitates creation and management of Virtual Machine Scale Sets for scalable VM deployment.

Benefits of Modularity

1. Code Organization: Each module encapsulates logic specific to its Azure resource, enhancing code organization and readability.

2. Reusability: Modules can be reused across projects or within the same project for different infrastructure components, promoting code reusability.

3. Scalability: Easily add new modules for additional Azure resources or modify existing ones without impacting other parts

Prerequisites

Before building, ensure:

• Python 3.9+ is installed on your system.
• Azure credentials are configured:
  • Either through environment variables (AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_SECRET, and AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID),
  • Or using Azure CLI configuration (az login).
