<p class="has-text-align-left">This blogpost is part of a series of Azure Virtual Datacenter Concept blog posts. </p>



<p>The following series of posts is a direct reference to the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Virtual Datacenter Concept  (opens in a new tab)" href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/reference/vdc" target="_blank">Virtual Datacenter Concept </a>provided by Microsoft as part of the <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Cloud Adoption Framework. (opens in a new tab)">Cloud Adoption Framework.</a></p>



<p>My intention is to provide you with a holistic overview, lessons learned and best practices over the last couple of years during the design and implementation phase of the Azure Virtual Datacenter.</p>



<p></p>



<h4><strong>What is the Azure Virtual Datacenter Concept (VDC)?</strong></h4>



<p>VDC is a series of guidelines that can be interpreted in various ways, the main goal of the VDC is to be able to deploy and manage your Azure resources in a secure and proper fashion.</p>



<p>When looking at <strong>AzOps </strong>and <strong>AzSec </strong>we are striving to build an operational and security model that fits the customers needs and wishes, which can still provide the promised scalability, flexibility and cloud optimization benefits. <strong>AzOps </strong>and <strong>AzSec </strong>should play a supporting role in the application landscape</p>



<p>Taking into account the perspective of <strong>DevOps </strong>and <strong>DevSecOps </strong>the VDC should facilitate the application development team to perform CI/CD in a way that the entire IT infrastructure which is oriented around your Line-of-business applications closes the gap between the operations and deployment lifecycle.</p>



<h4><strong>Why should the Virtual Datacenter Concept matter to you?</strong></h4>



<p>Planning Cloud Adoption is key, we&#8217;ve often seen Cloud environments that have been setup with no clear vision of the future application and IT landscape, which ended up in consuming a lot of credits that could&#8217;ve been spent more wisely.</p>



<p>On your road to onboarding IaaS, PaaS and SaaS the Virtual Datacenter Concept is your hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. It&#8217;s often seen as a way to easily lift and shift your servers, when looking at the VDC from a broader perspective, it can be a good fit to start transitioning to PaaS and SaaS.</p>



<h4><strong>How does this all translate into practice?</strong></h4>



<p>Below infographic shows a typical scenario where a DTAP (Development, Test, Acceptance, Production) environment has been setup and during deployment, key components have gone missing.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" src="https://www.tunecom.be/stg_ba12f/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/image.png" alt="Virtual Datacenter Concept" class="wp-image-222" width="537" height="332" srcset="https://www.tunecom.be/stg_ba12f/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/image.png 924w, https://www.tunecom.be/stg_ba12f/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/image-300x186.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px" /></figure></div>



<p>In order to fix the above situation, we&#8217;ve got a couple of options, either deploy additional equipment on Azure or consolidate and optimize to make the best use of all Azure Resources.</p>



<p>Below IaaS overview shows how we can consolidate the central shared services and make use of unique Azure techniques like vnet peering to tie everything together in a secure way.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" src="https://www.tunecom.be/stg_ba12f/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/image-1.png" alt="Virtual Datacenter Concept - DTAP
" class="wp-image-224" width="708" height="510" srcset="https://www.tunecom.be/stg_ba12f/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/image-1.png 1890w, https://www.tunecom.be/stg_ba12f/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/image-1-300x216.png 300w, https://www.tunecom.be/stg_ba12f/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/image-1-1536x1106.png 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px" /></figure></div>



<h4><strong>Extending your services to Azure</strong></h4>



<p>In the above example we&#8217;ve seen a full blow DTAP environment located on Azure infrastructure. However Cloud Adoption isn&#8217;t about moving virtual machines to the Cloud. When moving to the cloud our goal is to provide our end-customers with tools and applications that are always on and can meet the necessary capacity demands.</p>



<p>As a start we would primordially get started with the Virtual Datacenter Basic setup. This allows you to extend your on-premises workloads to Azure with a minimum amount of resources. </p>



<p>The basic setup consists of :</p>



<ul><li>Hybrid cloud identity which can be setup in various ways that suits your business needs.</li><li>Virtual Private network connectivity based on Azure Virtual Network gateway</li><li>Resource Governance</li><li>Backup and business continuity additions</li></ul>

<h4><strong>What&#8217;s next?</strong></h4>



<p>Hope you liked the introduction, and sort of know where we are working towards in this blogpost series. </p>
