The Step-By-Step Guide to Connect Aws with Azure

As we all know AWS and Azure are the two Cloud providers and there can be possibilities that one of our services is running on one cloud provider and the other is running on another cloud provider and, both are dependent on each other.

Through this blog, I will guide you on the steps which will be needed for connecting AWS with Azure and also will be explaining all the components of both the cloud provider that will be required for creating the site-to-site VPN Connectivity.

Why are we trying to connect both?

In one of my projects, I met with a requirement where I was working on an application that follows a client-server architecture. There were servers connected to multiple clients. Initially, the Server was placed into AWS and the connected clients were also there, but after a couple of years our requirements got changed and a new business unit came into the picture with its own clients that were needed to be connected with the server present in the AWS cloud.

Now, these new clients were present on Azure but the server was on AWS. Migration of server was not an option for us because our customer was not ready to migrate those clients from Azure to AWS, so this was a completely new use case, to which we decided to connect both the cloud providers with each other by setting up IPSec VPN tunnel.

Ease your Azure Infrastructure with Azure Blueprints

Today infrastructure-as-a-code is something that is picking up the pace at an exponential rate. Although the very concept of Infrastructure-as-a-code is pretty enticing that’s just once the face of the coin, what sits behind the shadows is compliance and access rights which plays a major role in the organizational setup.
So, today we would be covering one such service that Azure provides us i.e. Azure Blueprints which makes our lives even easier by incorporating the infrastructure and compliance under the same umbrella.
