Creating Policy for AAS (Azure Analysis Services) - azure-analysis-services

Does anyone have experience in writing Azure Policy for Analysis Services? I am stuck on getting one completed. I am attempting to create policy that enforces what IPs can be added to the public IP side. So far I have this and it does work:
{
"parameters": {
"allowedAddressRanges": {
"type": "Array",
"metadata": {
"displayName": "Address Range",
"description": "The list of allowed external IP address ranges"
}
}
},
"policyRule": {
"if": {
"allOf": [
{
"field": "type",
"equals": "Microsoft.AnalysisServices/servers"
},
{
"not": {
"field": "Microsoft.AnalysisServices/servers/ipV4FirewallSettings.firewallRules[*]",
"in": "[parameters('allowedAddressRanges')]"
}
}
]
},
"then": {
"effect": "audit"
}
}
}
Do I need to go further down the alias path to something like:
"Microsoft.AnalysisServices/servers/ipV4FirewallSettings.firewallRules[*].rangeStart"

This is an old thread but since it hasn't been answered yet, perhaps someone can benefit from my findings. Looking at the aliases available for Azure Analysis Services we can notice the following :
Microsoft.AnalysisServices/servers/ipV4FirewallSettings.firewallRules
Microsoft.AnalysisServices/servers/ipV4FirewallSettings.firewallRules[*]
Microsoft.AnalysisServices/servers/ipV4FirewallSettings.firewallRules[*].firewallRuleName
Microsoft.AnalysisServices/servers/ipV4FirewallSettings.firewallRules[*].rangeStart
Microsoft.AnalysisServices/servers/ipV4FirewallSettings.firewallRules[*].rangeEnd
Based on the notation above, I had to go down until "rangeStart" and "rangeEnd". This is what works for me:
{
"mode": "All",
"policyRule": {
"if": {
"allOf": [
{
"field": "type",
"equals": "Microsoft.AnalysisServices/servers"
},
{
"not": {
"anyOf": [
{
"field": "Microsoft.AnalysisServices/servers/ipV4FirewallSettings.firewallRules[*].rangeStart",
"in": "[parameters('allowedAddressRanges')]"
},
{
"field": "Microsoft.AnalysisServices/servers/ipV4FirewallSettings.firewallRules[*].rangeEnd",
"in": "[parameters('allowedAddressRanges')]"
}
]
}
}
]
},
"then": {
"effect": "[parameters('effect')]"
}
},
"parameters": {
"effect": {
"type": "String",
"metadata": {
"displayName": "Effect",
"description": "The effect determines what happens when the policy rule is evaluated to match"
},
"allowedValues": [
"Audit",
"Deny",
"Disabled"
],
"defaultValue": "Deny"
},
"allowedAddressRanges": {
"type": "Array",
"metadata": {
"displayName": "Address Range",
"description": "The list of allowed IP address ranges"
},
"allowedValues": [
"0.0.0.0",
"0.0.0.0",
"0.0.0.0",
"0.0.0.0",
"0.0.0.0"
],
"defaultValue": [
"0.0.0.0",
"0.0.0.0",
"0.0.0.0",
"0.0.0.0",
"0.0.0.0"
]
}
}
}

Assign static outbound ip address to azure container instance

I need to make a setup where I can read and write to an external sql db from a python script residing in a azure container instance. I order to make this work I need to assign a static ip to the container.
As I cannot associate a container instance with a dedicated ip I have had to make a setup that use the following resources: a vnet, a gateway and a public IP.
I have partially borrowed the setup from https://godatadriven.com/blog/azure-container-instance-example/ where the setup is drawn as follows:
I have made a dev-ops build and release pipeline. I use an ARM template to create the release (the resources of the template are below):

The release works, but when I run I try to run the container instance, it use a different ip each time.
What am I doing wrong?
Since you are using an Azure provided SQL, I would recommend to leverage the private VNET offering that Azure provides.
you should look at configuring your ACI with a private subnet
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-vnet
and also setup a vnet rule for your SQL server
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-vnet-service-endpoint-rule-overview
Virtual network rules are one firewall security feature that controls whether the database server for your single databases and elastic pool in Azure SQL Database or for your databases in Azure Synapse Analytics accepts communications that are sent from particular subnets in virtual networks.
it's important that you enable the SQL service endpoint for SQL on the ACI subnet as well.
This will avoid you having to manage outbound IP whitelisting in your SQL firewall.
From the things you did, I think you misunderstanding the network of the Azure Container Instance. The Public or the Private type for the ACI is only available for the inbound traffic, not for the outbound. Even when you use the private type, the instance also can access the Internet without any other resource, but in this type, you cannot access it from the Internet.
Unfortunately, when you use the public type, the public IP address for the inbound and outbound may be even no the same. And for Azure Container Instance, we cannot control the IP address which we can use. So when you want to use a static public IP address to access the SQL DB, the Azure Container Instance is not suitable, I would recommend the VM, it's more controllable and appropriate.

Azure ARM - DSC VM configuration

I would like to configure my VMs using ARM template and DSC. I prepared simple DCS script in powershell, base on that using powershell command created .zip file. mentioned .zip file uploaded to storage account container. Now I want to use this .zip file to made configuration changes on my test VMs, below my ARM template. I am receiving error message New-AzResourceGroupDeployment : 10:12:09 AM - VM has reported a failure when processing extension 'dscExtension'.

When I import it to SwaggerHub I got standardization error:
'definitions.*' not allowed -> API must not have local definitions (i.e. only $refs are allowed)
I have found the recommended solution in SwaggerHub documentation
But here is my question how to achieve:
split into domains(then using a reference), or
inline schemas
with Springfox
Or maybe there is another way to get rid of the above standardization error?
If you go to your home page, then hover over your organization on the left hand side and go to settings > Standardization, you should see some options. Unselect "API must not have local definitions (i.e. only $refs are allowed)" at the bottom.
And don't forget to save at the top right!

Ok, a couple things - you have your output in the nested template in the resources array - outputs should be a peer of the resources array. That's not getting flagged because of the inline reference() call fails before this.
First, reference() calls are often made very early in the deployment - sometimes earlier than you want them to be. When the resource being referenced is defined in the same template, it works as expected. When it's not defined in the same template, the GET happens immediately and the resource may not exist. That's a nuance of the reference() function that's a little tangential but important to know as you use it...
Combine that behavior with the inline template deployment. Inline deployments have a number of design quirks that make them pretty hard to use for anything "advanced". You won't be able to do what you're doing with an inline deployment. If you use a templateLink (i.e. another file), you can deploy the nic and output the ipconfig in the same template.
That help?
I have had a similar issue, we were deploying using Azure Pipelines, the approach i took was 1) Deploy Template and pass the RG name and VMSS name as template outputs 2) ARM Outputs - Use this snippet to publish the above results as vars to use downstream 3) Azure Powershell to get the IPs of all VMSS instances and publish them as pipeline variables 4) Write the pipeline vars file to a blob. Hope this helps
$iplist=#()
$i=1
$nicinfo=Get-AzureRmNetworkInterface -ResourceGroupName $(ResourceGroupName) -
VirtualMachineScaleSetName $(VmssName)
foreach($nic in $nicinfo){
$iplist += $nic.IpConfigurations.PrivateIpAddress
}
foreach($ip in $iplist){
Write-host Private ip $i is $ip
Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=Privateip$i;]$ip"
$i++
}

Hosting my own service (.NET) - what is a valid response for Alexa?

I'm hosting my own service (HTTPS) on Azure - I have selected 'my endpoint is a subdomain with a wildcard cert'
I'm using Alexa.NET to craft the response.
I can verify that the simulator is hitting my endpoint (I did remote debugging and saw the breakpoint was hit) and I know that my endpoint is returning this (I tried it in Postman)
{
"Version": "1.0",
"SessionAttributes": null,
"Response": {
"OutputSpeech": {
"Type": "PlainText",
"Text": "test successful"
},
"Card": null,
"Reprompt": null,
"ShouldEndSession": true,
"Directives": []
}
}
I can't find any documentation on what the response is supposed to look like. I guess I can try creating the same thing with a lambda function...
Anyone have any suggestions on what I can try? This whole process of hosting my own service has been very frustrating...

It was because my 'name's started with an uppercase. Friggin Javascript serializer....
But thanks Vijay for the pointer to the documentation.
In .NET mvc, this is how you make the property names lower case:
return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(alexaSkillResponse, new JsonSerializerSettings {
ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver()
});
