rtrentin

Disaster recovery involves a set of policies, tools, and procedures to enable the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems following a natural or human-induced disaster. The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the targeted duration of time and a service level within which a business process must be restored after a disaster (or disruption) in order to avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a break in business continuity. I covered using Aviatrix to address the challenges of DR/BC before: In this new blog I address a new set of requirements: Proposed Design The proposed solution has the following major … Continue reading 5 min RTO with Aviatrix and Terraform

Credit to Zack (https://www.linkedin.com/in/zack-schaefer/) on creating a high-available and disaster ready architecture on Azure using Aviatrix. Thanks also to Mr Smoker (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnsmoker/) and Dennis (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dennishagens/) for helping directly and indirectly :). The gist shared below creates the following topology: The VMs are running NGINX on port 80 and the traffic manager favors East.

Deploying an Aviatrix FireNet on Azure with Fortinet FortiGate

rtrentin

Aviatrix Transit FireNet allows the deployment of 3rd party firewalls onto the Aviatrix transit architecture. Transit FireNet works the same way as the Firewall Network where traffic in and out of the specified Spoke is forwarded to the firewall instances for inspection or policy application. FireNet Design The diagram below shows the Aviatrix Firenet design for Azure. When a transit gateway is deployed with the firenet option checked, the Aviatrix controller will: create subnets create UDRs create an internal NLB configure the internal NLB (front end, back-end, healtch check) Aviatrix deploys and configures the Internal Load Balancers for a Firenet. … Continue reading Deploying an Aviatrix FireNet on Azure with Fortinet FortiGate
