Azure Enclave is a cloud networking service that provides organizations with highly sensitive data the ability to quickly deploy and manage workloads across Commercial and air-gapped Azure clouds at scale. In this quickstart, you:
- Deploy a service catalog template for a Service Bus into an existing workload from the Portal.
Note
This sample deployment is just for demo purposes and doesn't represent all the best practices for network, systems, or applications administration.
Before you begin
This quickstart assumes a basic understanding of networking and Azure Enclave concepts. For more information, see Concepts and best practices of Azure Enclave.
You need an Azure account with an active subscription. If you don't have one, create an account for free.
You need a community, enclave, workload, and at least one workload resource group and permissions to create resources inside the workload resource group.
Enable
Advancedmaintenance mode for your enclave so you can add the Private Link resources to your enclave managed resource group.
Prerequisites
There are guardrail requirements on the enclaves to ensure enclave resources are using Customer-Managed Keys (CMK) encryption. This requires a key and identity to access the key to be accessible in the enclave. Create the CMK (optional Key Vault) and Managed Identity in the Common Dependencies service catalog template
- Subnet for Private Endpoints: You had the option to create subnets during enclave creation or you can create new subnets after enclave creation. The private endpoint subnet should have no subnet delegation for the private endpoints to work properly.
- Quickly create these Private DNS Zones based on what you create next:
Key Vaultrequired when creating a Key Vault from this template or the more customizable Key Vault template.privatelink.servicebus.windows.netunderAdditional Private DNS Zone nameswhich is required to access Cosmos DB privately.
- A Key Vault, Customer Managed Key (CMK), and Managed Identity are required for this template. Create a Key Vault, CMK, and Managed Identity in the Common Dependencies service catalog quickstart or create your own.
- These resources should be created inside a workload resource group.
- After creating the User Managed Identity, ensure it has access to the CMK key
- Assign the
Key Vault Crypto Service Encryption UserRBAC role to the managed identity scoped to the key vault with these instructions. This allows you to then assign the managed identity to another resource, like a Virtual Machine, and that Virtual Machine can encrypt the operating system disk with the CMK in the key vault without having permissions to do other operations on the key vault following least privilege.
- Assign the
Deploy the template
- Navigate to the workload for the intended deployment.
- Select
Add Servicebutton. - Select the
Service Busservice template from the service catalog list dropdown, confirm the version you need (default:latest), and selectNext.

- Go through each tab and enter all the required parameters.
- Adjust any of the prepopulated parameters as needed.
- Select
Review + CreatethenCreate.
It can take up to 30 minutes to finish all resource creation. Wait for the deployment to be successfully completed before you take any actions within your deployed resources.
Validate the deployment
Go to the specified resource group to confirm the intended resources were created. Including: Service Bus
Connect
Via the Admin VM: The Admin VM is used for administrator access the resources within the enclave boundary from outside the boundary. The Admin VM might also be called a "jumpbox".
- Sign-in to the Admin VM you have deployed for your enclave or create a new Admin VM
- From the start menu, type
RDP, and open the RDP window - Enter the Virtual Machine IP address as the destination IP address for the RDP connection.
- Enter Virtual Machine credentials and select
Accept/Yesto warnings about a new connection. - From the Virtual Machine desktop, validate any VM settings set during the deployment. Otherwise, start using your new resources.
Delete the deployment
If you don't plan on keeping these resources, clean up unnecessary resources to avoid Azure charges. If no other deployments exist in the resource group, the whole resource group can be deleted.
Recommendations
- Add tags to service catalog deployments to track important information for that resource such as:
- Owner:
<main POC> - Deployer:
<yourName> - Purpose:
<service comms> - Service Catalog Name:
<Service Bus> - Service Catalog Version:
<version you deployed>
- Owner:
- Consider adding an Azure Policy to enforce and inherit tags
