Oct 1, 2025October 2025 monthly summary for Azure/missionlz: Delivered a security-focused network enhancement by enforcing forced tunneling via the Azure Firewall for the Virtual Network Gateway add-on, ensuring all hub, spoke, and on-prem traffic passes through firewall for centralized policy enforcement. Removed routingMode abstraction and updated architecture/docs to reflect the new firewall-centric traffic flow. This change strengthens security posture, improves governance, and provides clearer guidance for ops and onboarding across the multi-site environment.

Aug 1, 2025Month: 2025-08 — Delivered two infrastructure-as-code add-ons for the Azure Mission Landing Zone, enhancing connectivity and outbound scalability while improving IaC quality and documentation. Key features delivered: - Virtual Network Gateway add-on for Mission Landing Zone hub enabling Site-to-Site VPN connectivity, routing traffic through the Azure Firewall, and updating VNet peerings to support gateway connectivity from spoke VNets; includes GatewaySubnet creation/update, a dedicated VPN gateway route table, and provisioning of Virtual Network Gateway and Local Network Gateway resources. - Azure NAT Gateway add-on for Mission Landing Zone introducing NAT Gateway deployment attached to the AzureFirewallSubnet with a Public IP Prefix for stable outbound egress; includes documentation and Bicep code to deploy and configure the NAT Gateway, offloading NAT from the Azure Firewall. Major bugs fixed: - No major defects closed in this period; work focused on feature delivery and IaC improvements. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened secure connectivity between hub-spoke networks with Site-to-Site VPN and updated routing; improved outbound scalability and resilience by offloading NAT from the Azure Firewall. - Accelerated deployment and consistency through Infrastructure as Code (Bicep) with clear documentation, reducing manual steps and enabling repeatable environments. - Improved maintainability via resource-name fixes and better naming consistency in gateway add-on components. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Azure networking (Site-to-Site VPN, GatewaySubnet, VNet peering, Azure Firewall routing) - NAT Gateway and outbound SNAT scaling - Infrastructure as Code with Bicep - Documentation and onboarding for new add-ons
