Palo Alto Networks Application Gateway Module for Azure

A terraform module for deploying a Application Gateway v2 and its components required for the VM-Series firewalls in Azure.

GitHub Logo Terraform Logo

Usage

In order to use module appgw, you need to deploy azurerm_resource_group and use module vnet as prerequisites. Then you can use below code as an example of calling module to create Application Gateway:

# Create Application Gateay
module "appgw" {
source = "PaloAltoNetworks/swfw-modules/azurerm//modules/appgw"

for_each = var.appgws

name = each.value.name
public_ip = each.value.public_ip
resource_group_name = local.resource_group.name
location = var.region
subnet_id = module.vnet[each.value.vnet_key].subnet_ids[each.value.subnet_key]

managed_identities = each.value.managed_identities
capacity = each.value.capacity
waf = each.value.waf
enable_http2 = each.value.enable_http2
zones = each.value.zones

frontend_ip_configuration_name = each.value.frontend_ip_configuration_name
listeners = each.value.listeners
backend_pool = each.value.backend_pool
backends = each.value.backends
probes = each.value.probes
rewrites = each.value.rewrites
rules = each.value.rules
redirects = each.value.redirects
url_path_maps = each.value.url_path_maps

ssl_global = each.value.ssl_global
ssl_profiles = each.value.ssl_profiles

tags = var.tags
depends_on = [module.vnet]
}

Every application gateway is defined by basic attributes for name, VNet, subnet or capacity. For applications there is a need to set listeners, backends, sometimes rewrites, redirects and / or url_path_maps. Then rules property connects the other component using it's keys.

The examples below are meant to show most common use cases and to serve as a base for more complex application gateways definitions.

Example 1

Application Gateway with:

  • new public IP
  • HTTP listener
  • static capacity
  • rewriting HTTP headers
appgws = {
"public-http-minimum" = {
name = "appgw-http-minimum"
public_ip = {
name = "pip-http-minimum"
}
vnet_key = "transit"
subnet_key = "appgw"
zones = ["1", "2", "3"]
capacity = {
static = 2
}
listeners = {
minimum = {
name = "minimum-listener"
port = 80
}
}
rewrites = {
minimum = {
name = "minimum-set"
rules = {
"xff-strip-port" = {
name = "minimum-xff-strip-port"
sequence = 100
request_headers = {
"X-Forwarded-For" = "{var_add_x_forwarded_for_proxy}"
}
}
}
}
}
rules = {
minimum = {
name = "minimum-rule"
priority = 1
backend = "minimum"
listener = "minimum"
rewrite = "minimum"
}
}
}
}

Example 2

Application Gateway with:

  • existing public IP
  • HTTP listener
  • static capacity
  • rewriting HTTP headers
appgws = {
"public-http-existing" = {
name = "appgw-http-existing"
public_ip = {
name = "pip-existing"
create = false
}
vnet_key = "transit"
subnet_key = "appgw"
zones = ["1", "2", "3"]
capacity = {
static = 2
}
backends = {
existing = {
name = "http-backend"
port = 80
protocol = "Http"
timeout = 60
cookie_based_affinity = "Enabled"
}
}
listeners = {
existing = {
name = "existing-listener"
port = 80
}
}
rewrites = {
existing = {
name = "existing-set"
rules = {
"xff-strip-port" = {
name = "existing-xff-strip-port"
sequence = 100
request_headers = {
"X-Forwarded-For" = "{var_add_x_forwarded_for_proxy}"
}
}
}
}
}
rules = {
existing = {
name = "existing-rule"
priority = 1
backend = "existing"
listener = "existing"
rewrite = "existing"
}
}
}
}

Example 3

Application Gateway with:

  • new public IP
  • HTTP listener
  • autoscaling
appgws = {
"public-http-autoscale" = {
name = "appgw-http-autoscale"
public_ip = {
name = "pip-http-autoscale"
}
vnet_key = "transit"
subnet_key = "appgw"
zones = ["1", "2", "3"]
capacity = {
autoscale = {
min = 2
max = 20
}
}
backends = {
http = {
name = "http-backend"
port = 80
protocol = "Http"
timeout = 60
cookie_based_affinity = "Enabled"
}
}
listeners = {
http = {
name = "http-listener"
port = 80
}
}
rules = {
http = {
name = "http-rule"
priority = 1
backend = "http"
listener = "http"
}
}
}
}

Example 4

Application Gateway with:

  • new public IP
  • WAF enabled
  • HTTP listener
  • static capacity
  • rewriting HTTP headers
appgws = {
"public-waf" = {
name = "appgw-waf"
public_ip = {
name = "pip-waf"
}
vnet_key = "transit"
subnet_key = "appgw"
zones = ["1", "2", "3"]
capacity = {
static = 2
}
waf = {
prevention_mode = true
rule_set_type = "OWASP"
rule_set_version = "3.2"
}
backends = {
waf = {
name = "waf-backend"
port = 80
protocol = "Http"
timeout = 60
cookie_based_affinity = "Enabled"
}
}
listeners = {
waf = {
name = "waf-listener"
port = 80
}
}
rewrites = {
waf = {
name = "waf-set"
rules = {
"xff-strip-port" = {
name = "waf-xff-strip-port"
sequence = 100
request_headers = {
"X-Forwarded-For" = "{var_add_x_forwarded_for_proxy}"
}
}
}
}
}
rules = {
minimum = {
name = "waf-rule"
priority = 1
backend = "waf"
listener = "waf"
rewrite = "waf"
}
}
}
}

Prerequisites for example 5 and 6

If you need to test example for Application Gateway with SSL, you need to created directory files and create keys and certs using commands:

  1. Create CA private key and certificate:
   openssl genrsa 2048 > ca-key1.pem
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -days 365000 -key ca-key1.pem -out ca-cert1.pem
openssl genrsa 2048 > ca-key2.pem
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -days 365000 -key ca-key2.pem -out ca-cert2.pem
  1. Create server certificate:
   openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout test1.key -x509 -days 365 -CA ca-cert1.pem -CAkey ca-key1.pem -out test1.crt
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout test2.key -x509 -days 365 -CA ca-cert2.pem -CAkey ca-key2.pem -out test2.crt
  1. Create PFX file with key and certificate:
   openssl pkcs12 -inkey test1.key -in test1.crt -export -out test1.pfx
openssl pkcs12 -inkey test2.key -in test2.crt -export -out test2.pfx

Optional Inputs details

tags

The map of tags to assign to all created resources.

Type: map(string)

Default value: map[]

[back to list](#modules-optional-inputs)

zones

A list of zones the Application Gateway should be available in. For non-zonal deployments this should be set to an empty list, as null will enforce the default value.

Note! \ This is also enforced on the Public IP. The Public IP object brings in some limitations as it can only be non-zonal, pinned to a single zone or zone-redundant (so available in all zones in a region).

Therefore make sure that if you specify more than one zone you specify all available in a region. You can use a subset, but the Public IP will be created in all zones anyway. This fact will cause Terraform to recreate the IP resource during next terraform apply as there will be difference between the state and the actual configuration.

For details on zones currently available in a region of your choice refer to Microsoft's documentation.

Type: list(string)

Default value: [1 2 3]

[back to list](#modules-optional-inputs)

domain_name_label
