Yesterday I held Working with Azure Firewall Workshop under Infrastructure as Code user group Oslo.

This time we looked at different aspects of working with Azure Firewall and learned:

• What is Azure Firewall
• What are the common use cases for Azure Firewall
• How to deploy and configure Azure Firewall with hub-and-spoke topology
• How Azure Firewall policies are structured
• How to create and manage Network and Application rules
• What is SNAT port exhaustion and how to mitigate it
