Prepare the Microsoft Azure Environment

You can prepare the Azure environment before deployment.

Procedure

1. Add a group named Azure Resource Group in to which Unified Access Gateway appliances are deployed. You can add using the Azure Portal web interface, or by running the PowerShell command as in this example:

   Version	Command
   PowerShell 5	$resourceGroup="uagrg" $location="uk south" New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name $resourceGroup -Location $location
   PowerShell 7	$resourceGroup="uagrg" $location="uk south" New-AzResourceGroup -Name $resourceGroup -Location $location

2. Add a storage account, and a blob container called vhds within that storage account. It is to store the Unified Access Gateway images. You can add using the Azure Portal web interface, or by running the PowerShell commands as in this example:

   Version	Command
   PowerShell 5	New-AzureRmStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -AccountName uagstore ` -Location $location -SkuName Standard_LRS New-AzureRmStorageContainer -Name vhds -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup ` -StorageAccountName uagstore
   PowerShell 7	New-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -AccountName uagstore ` -Location $location -SkuName Standard_LRS New-AzRmStorageContainer -Name vhds -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup ` -StorageAccountName uagstore

3. Create a Virtual Network with a default subnet.

   Version	Command
   PowerShell 5	New-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -Name VirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup ` -Location $location -AddressPrefix "10.0.0.0/16"
   PowerShell 7	New-AzVirtualNetwork -Name VirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup ` -Location $location -AddressPrefix "10.0.0.0/16"

4. Alternatively, the virtual network can have specified subnets so they can be specified as follows.

   Version	Command
   PowerShell 5	$frontendSubnet = New-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name frontendSubnet ` -AddressPrefix "10.0.1.0/24" $backendSubnet = New-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name backendSubnet ` -AddressPrefix "10.0.2.0/24" New-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -Name VirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup ` -Location $location -AddressPrefix "10.0.0.0/16" -Subnet $frontendSubnet,$backendSubnet
   PowerShell 7	$frontendSubnet = New-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name frontendSubnet ` -AddressPrefix "10.0.1.0/24" $backendSubnet = New-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name backendSubnet ` -AddressPrefix "10.0.2.0/24" New-AzVirtualNetwork -Name VirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup ` -Location $location -AddressPrefix "10.0.0.0/16" -Subnet $frontendSubnet,$backendSubnet

5. If the Unified Access Gateway appliance is to be directly accessed from the Internet, add a security group called UAGInternetSG to control the inbound port access from the Internet to each Unified Access Gateway. You can add a security group using the portal or with PowerShell. This security group can be shared by several Unified Access Gateway appliances. For example with the Horizon access, allow the following ports:
   • HTTPS - TCP 443
   • HTTP - TCP 80
   • Blast -TCP 8443
   • Blast/BEAT UDP 8443
   • UDP Tunnel - UDP 443
   • PCoIP - TCP and UDP 4172

   
6. (Optional) Run either of the following command to add a public IP address object.

   Version	Command
   PowerShell 5	New-AzureRmPublicIpAddress -Name UAG1PublicIP -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup ` -AllocationMethod Static -Location $location
   PowerShell 7	New-AzRmPublicIpAddress -Name UAG1PublicIP -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup ` -AllocationMethod Static -Location $location

   Table 1. For Availability Zone

   Version	Command
   PowerShell 5	$resourceGroup="uagrg" $ipName="UAG1PublicIP" $location="uk south" $alloc="Static" $sku="Standard" $zone="3" New-AzureRmPublicIpAddress -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -Name $ipName -Location $location -AllocationMethod $alloc -Sku $sku -Zone $zone
   PowerShell 7	$resourceGroup="uagrg" $ipName="UAG1PublicIP" $location="uk south" $alloc="Static" $sku="Standard" $zone="3" New-AzPublicIpAddress -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -Name $ipName -Location $location -AllocationMethod $alloc -Sku $sku -Zone $zone
