My Azure Study Note -05 - Publish Code, VM Setup(windows and ubuntu), Deploy code (from publish and git repo), check communication between VM using private IP

 Step 1.

In VS Code publish .NET core application running below command in Terminal

dotnet publish -o publish

Step 2. Create a VM(Windows Server 2019 DC Gen1) in azure portal with Static IP Address

Step 3. RDP to VM

Step 4. In server manager-> Local Server-> IE Enhanced Security Configuration= False

Step 5. In server manager-> Dashboard -> Add Roles and Features->Next(3 times)-> Add "Web Server(IIS)"-> Next->Next-> Add Custom Logging and Logging Tools-> Next and Install->Close

Step 6. In IE, type localhost to ensure the web server is installed

Step 7. Download google chrome and .NET core 3.1(ASP.NET Core Runtime 3.1.14->Hosting Bundle)

Step 8. Create a new folder C:\catalog and copy all the contents of publish folder

Step 9. IIS -> Sites->Add Site-> Name= Catalog, Physical Path= C:\catalog, Port=8080

Step 10. Browse from IIS and ensure the site is working

Step 11. To access the site from external system, in the VM open "Windows Defender Firewall" and turn it off both for private and public network. But still the site is not accessible from outside which is the expected behavior and we need to make some changes in the networking

Step 12. Create a Ubuntu VM "weather-vm" in the same vnet with static ip and enable auto shutdown (within management) and user id and password option

Step 13. Download Putty to connect that VM

Step 14. Connect the Unix VM with the Public IP and user id/password

Step 15. run below command

sudo apt install git

sudo apt update

sudo apt install nodejs (click Y)

git clone http://github.com/memilavi/WeatherAPI.git

cd WeatherAPI

ls

sudo apt install npm (click Y)

npm start

Step 16. copy the private IP address of ubuntu VM

Step 17. In windows VM browse the catallog app ->click on weather and type the private IP address: 8080 ->click on "Get Weather"

This proves that 2 VM in same VNET can communicate each other by private IP address but still not accessible from external network
