🌐 Secure-Hub-and-Spoke-Network - Build a Safe Cloud Network Easily

🚀 Getting Started

Secure-Hub-and-Spoke-Network is designed to help you create a secure Hub-and-Spoke networking model in Azure using Bicep. This setup simplifies your cloud networking and enhances your security.

📥 Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

• An active Azure account (you can create one for free)
• Basic understanding of Azure portal and networking concepts is helpful but not required
• A web browser for downloading the software

💻 System Requirements

• Operating System: Windows 10 or higher / macOS / Linux
• An internet connection to download and set up the network
• Azure subscription with permission to create resources

📦 Download & Install

To download the software, please visit this page: Releases Page.

1. Go to the Releases Page.
2. Look for the latest version.
3. Click on the asset to download it, such as a .zip or .bicep file.
4. Save the file to a location on your computer.
5. Open the file and follow the instructions to install.

🌐 Understanding Hub-and-Spoke Network

The Hub-and-Spoke model is a network architecture that organizes your network into three main parts:

1. Hub: This is the central point that connects to multiple spokes.
2. Spokes: These are separate networks that connect to the hub. They can represent different applications, teams, or environments.
3. Connectivity: The hub controls the flow of data between the spokes and the rest of the Azure network.

This structure provides several benefits, such as improved security, easier management, and better performance.

🔧 Setting Up Your Network

After you have downloaded the setup, follow these steps to get your Hub-and-Spoke network running:

1. Open the Azure Portal: Sign in to your Azure account.
2. Create a Resource Group: This is where all your network resources will be stored.
   • Navigate to “Resource groups”
   • Click on “Add”
   • Fill in the necessary information and click “Review + create”
3. Upload the Bicep file: Go to “Deployments” in your Resource Group. Click “Create” and “Deploy a custom template”.
   • Paste your Bicep script here and follow the prompts.
4. Deploy the Network: Choose your parameters during the deployment. This step may take a few minutes.
5. Verify Resource Creation: Check if all resources are created correctly in your Resource Group.

📈 Features

The Secure-Hub-and-Spoke-Network provides:

• Easy setup for Hub-and-Spoke architecture
• Enhanced security with Azure Firewall configurations
• Custom DNS settings through Private DNS
• A quick start with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Bicep
