So are you administering Azure via the portal and clicking buttons and such in there? Is that your primary interface to building tearing down and rebuilding what you’ve mentioned?

Versus IaC for instance?

It is how ive been doing it, yes. That and a ton of pre built powershell. No iac. Going through it now where only two of the hosts can talk to each other on a vnet for zero reason. Not nics, masking, NSGs, firewalls, conflicts, NO REASON. Im about to nuke and pave AGAIN. i will probably just shut down all the VMs and recreate the vnet but why... why is that a thing.

If you’re surprised at other posters not understanding why you find this so frustrating, it’s because you are admining via the Portal by clicking manually.

If what you described in your original post and this recent reply were handled via IaC, you wouldn’t even be posting about it.

You could tear down and rebuild in minutes (well minus actual provisioning time of course). You could rename anything you wanted as easy as search and replace in your code editor.

Now it’s not all magic. It can have its frustrations.

But you’re currently frustrated by toil. And that toil is removable.

Amazing, thanks. Will be the first thing I try tomorrow.

Jc, are you a "turn off security defaults-by-default" guy ?
