Create HA Infrastructure for an AppServices deployment

This template will deploy all the infrastructure required for Azure Stack AppServices installtion. The goal of the template is to simplify the deployment of the AppService Resource Provider and is therefore intended to be deployed into the Default Provider Subscription. Storage and Network configuartion for deployment are included in teh main temlpalte and may need to be adjusted according to your needs.

It creates the following resources:

• A virtual network with required subnets
• network security groups for file server, sql server and AD subnets
• Storage accounts for VM disks and cluster cloud witness
• One internal load balancer for SQL VMs with private IP bound to the SQL Always On listener
• Two VM (WS2016Core) configured as Domain Controllers for a new forest with a single domain
• Two VM (WS2016Core) configured as Storage Spaces Direct File share cluster
• 3 Availability Sets, for AD, FileServer cluster and SQL cluster

Deploying the AppService Resource Provider

As stated the goal of this template is to deploy the infrastructure needed to support the App Service Resource Provider so this should be deployed before running the AppService installer.

• Check the template meets any requirements you may have on VNET address space and storage sizing
• Deploy this template using the Default Provider Subscription
• Create a new Resource Group
• Make a note of the outputs from this template they will be needed when installing AppService
• When installing AppService be sure to select the option to deploy to an existing VNET
• Details of File Server and SQL server endpoimnts & accounts can be found in the outputs noted
• After AppService deployment is complete manually back up bot the metering and hosting databases and add them to the availability group.
• By default the AppService Controller VM(s) have public IP addresses update the Controller NSG to allow RDP access, the SQL servers can be accesed from here on default IP addresses of 10.0.1.4 and 10.0.1.5
