How to backup the existing config in VHUB and VPN sites to be restored?

Fernando Ariel Chirkinian 20

Hello, I need some guidance on how to fully export the existing config of a virtual wan resource with its virtual hub and vpn sites already configured, and a clear mechanism in how to use those templates to restore the config in case of any human error or deletion? I realized ARM templates doesn't have the full content of the vwan. Either way the virtual hub json files cannot be re-applied in such way using the ARM templates through Azure resource manager? Same issue with the vpn sites and psk setup. Can you please suggest the most simple mechanism to preserve a config setup of these resources as-is and able to re-deploy if necessary?

Thanks,

Fernando.

Hi @Fernando Ariel Chirkinian , would this bicep template help? You can modify parameters file to reflect on your current config.

Hi @Silvia Wibowo , I'm looking for something more simple to implement as these resources were deployed mostly manually and want to capture the configuration. Is it the only method available to do it? Sounds like I need to code from scratch and capture all the parameters through visual validation from the portal, isn't it?. That's risky in case I miss something. I need to count with with something more transparent to maintain changes done manually in the future as well.

What about the the vpn sites implemented at the virtual hub?

Thanks,

F.

Hi @Fernando Ariel Chirkinian , you can provide existing resource ID in Azure to Visual Studio Code and it will generate a bicep template for you. The process tries to create a usable resource. However, most of the inserted resources require some modification before they can be used to deploy Azure resources.

More info: Insert Resource for Bicep using Visual Studio Code

Regarding your question "What about the the vpn sites implemented at the virtual hub?" - if you look at the main.bicep template, it does include the vpn sites.
