AKS Quick Few Tips
- Do not create AKS cluster in a VNET where existing resources are present.
- Always use separate VNET for AKS cluster creation.
- Service, POD and Docker bridge address can be any range in AKS
- DNS service IP should be configured from Service CIDR in AKS
Azure Resource Mover
Definition:
The Azure resource mover is used to move resources from one region to another region.
Advantages:
- A single hub for moving resources across regions.
- Reduced move time and complexity.
- A simple and consistent experience moving different types of Azure resources.
- An easy way to identify dependencies across resources you want to move. This helps you to move related resources together, so that everything works as expected in the target region, after the move.
- Automatic cleanup of resources in the source region, if you want to delete them after the move.
Resources which we can move:
- Azure VMs and associated disks
- Encrypted Azure VMs and associated disks. This includes VMs with Azure disk encryption enabled, and Azure VMs using default server-side encryption (both with platform-managed keys and customer-managed keys)
- NICs
- Availability sets
- Azure virtual networks
- Public IP addresses
- Network security groups (NSGs)
- Internal and public load balancers
- Azure SQL databases and elastic pools.

Azure VPN Gateway Troubleshooting Steps:
- Log in to the Azure Portal portal.azure.com
- Go to all services > type Virtual network gateway service.
- Select virtual gateway, for which we are facing the issue.
- Click on VPN troubleshoot.
- Start VPN troubleshooting after selecting the VPN gateway
- VPN logs will transfer to storage container
- Perform a deep analysis of VPN logs
- Second troubleshooting step is verifying the VPN gateway health probe using VPN Gateway public IP.
Eg: https://<PublicIP>:8081/healthprobe
9. If you see the xml response then VPN gateway is working fine.
Copy files from one S3 bucket to another S3 bucket on same account
- Create a new S3 bucket testbucketbkp1.
- Create a new S3 bucket testbucketbkp2.
- Upload a test file to testbucketbkp1.
- Now install the AWS CLI on PC.
- Type aws configure

Enter the access key ID and secret access


6. Copy the objects between the source and target buckets using sync command
aws s3 sync s3://testbucketbkp1 s3://testbucketbkp2
8. The sync command uses the CopyObject APIs to copy objects between S3 buckets.
