Microsoft.Network.virtualNetworkGateways.delete
Event Information
- The Microsoft.Network.virtualNetworkGateways.delete event in Azure for AzureNetwork indicates that a virtual network gateway has been deleted.
- This event signifies the removal of a virtual network gateway, which is a networking component used to connect virtual networks to on-premises networks or other virtual networks.
- The event can be used to track the deletion of virtual network gateways and monitor changes in the network infrastructure.
Examples
-
Unauthorized deletion: If security is impacted with Microsoft.Network.virtualNetworkGateways.delete in Azure for AzureNetwork, it could potentially lead to unauthorized deletion of virtual network gateways. This can result in disruption of network connectivity and potential data loss.
-
Network vulnerability: Deleting virtual network gateways without proper authorization or validation can create network vulnerabilities. This can expose the network to potential attacks, unauthorized access, or data breaches.
-
Service disruption: Deleting virtual network gateways without proper planning or coordination can cause service disruption. This can impact network connectivity, VPN connections, and other dependent services, leading to downtime and loss of productivity.
Remediation
Using Console
To remediate the issues mentioned in the previous response for Azure Network using the Azure console, you can follow these step-by-step instructions:
-
Enable Network Security Groups (NSGs):
- Go to the Azure portal and navigate to the desired virtual network.
- Select “Network security groups” from the left-hand menu.
- Click on “Add” to create a new NSG or select an existing NSG.
- Configure inbound and outbound security rules based on your requirements.
- Associate the NSG with the desired subnets or network interfaces.
-
Implement Azure DDoS Protection Standard:
- Go to the Azure portal and navigate to the desired virtual network.
- Select “DDoS protection” from the left-hand menu.
- Click on “Enable DDoS protection” and choose the “Standard” tier.
- Configure the DDoS protection settings based on your requirements.
- Apply the DDoS protection to the desired resources within the virtual network.
-
Implement Azure Firewall:
- Go to the Azure portal and navigate to the desired virtual network.
- Select “Firewalls and virtual networks” from the left-hand menu.
- Click on “Add” to create a new Azure Firewall or select an existing one.
- Configure the firewall rules and network rules based on your requirements.
- Associate the Azure Firewall with the desired subnets or network interfaces.
Note: The above instructions provide a general overview of the steps involved in remediating the mentioned issues. It is important to consider your specific requirements and consult the Azure documentation for detailed instructions and best practices.

- Command:
-
Example 2: Restrict Network Access using Network Security Groups (NSGs)
- Command:
az network nsg rule create
- Description: This command creates a new rule in an NSG to restrict network access based on specific criteria.
- Parameters: You need to provide the resource group name, NSG name, rule name, priority, source IP address range, destination IP address range, protocol, and action.
- Command:
-
Example 3: Enable Azure DDoS Protection Standard
- Command:
az network ddos-protection update
- Description: This command enables Azure DDoS Protection Standard for a specific virtual network.
- Parameters: You need to provide the resource group name and virtual network name.
- Command:
Please note that the actual CLI commands may vary depending on your specific requirements and configurations. Make sure to refer to the Azure CLI documentation for detailed usage and options.
Using Python
To remediate issues related to AzureNetwork using Python, you can use the Azure SDK for Python. Here are three examples of how you can remediate common issues:
-
Example 1: Enable Network Security Group (NSG) Flow Logs
- Use the
azure.mgmt.network
package to retrieve the NSG resource. - Enable flow logs for the NSG by setting the
enable_flow_logs
property toTrue
. - Update the NSG resource using the
network_client.network_security_groups.create_or_update
method.
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential from azure.mgmt.network import NetworkManagementClient # Authenticate using default credentials credential = DefaultAzureCredential() network_client = NetworkManagementClient(credential, subscription_id) # Retrieve the NSG resource nsg = network_client.network_security_groups.get(resource_group_name, nsg_name) # Enable flow logs for the NSG nsg.enable_flow_logs = True # Update the NSG resource network_client.network_security_groups.create_or_update(resource_group_name, nsg_name, nsg)
- Use the
-
Example 2: Add a Network Security Rule to an NSG
- Use the
azure.mgmt.network
package to retrieve the NSG resource. - Add a new security rule to the NSG by appending it to the
security_rules
list. - Update the NSG resource using the
network_client.network_security_groups.create_or_update
method.
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential from azure.mgmt.network import NetworkManagementClient from azure.mgmt.network.models import SecurityRule # Authenticate using default credentials credential = DefaultAzureCredential() network_client = NetworkManagementClient(credential, subscription_id) # Retrieve the NSG resource nsg = network_client.network_security_groups.get(resource_group_name, nsg_name) # Add a new security rule to the NSG new_rule = SecurityRule(name="Allow-SSH", protocol="Tcp", source_port_range="*", destination_port_range="22", access="Allow", direction="Inbound") nsg.security_rules.append(new_rule) # Update the NSG resource network_client.network_security_groups.create_or_update(resource_group_name, nsg_name, nsg)
- Use the
-
Example 3: Update Network Security Group (NSG) Rules
- Use the
azure.mgmt.network
package to retrieve the NSG resource. - Modify the existing security rules in the NSG by updating the desired properties.
- Update the NSG resource using the
network_client.network_security_groups.create_or_update
method.
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential from azure.mgmt.network import NetworkManagementClient # Authenticate using default credentials credential = DefaultAzureCredential() network_client = NetworkManagementClient(credential, subscription_id) # Retrieve the NSG resource nsg = network_client.network_security_groups.get(resource_group_name, nsg_name) # Modify the existing security rules in the NSG for rule in nsg.security_rules: if rule.name == "Allow-SSH": rule.access = "Deny" # Update the NSG resource network_client.network_security_groups.create_or_update(resource_group_name, nsg_name, nsg)
