Palo Alto Networks VNet Peering Module for Azure

A terraform module for deploying a Virtual Network Peering and its components required for the VM-Series firewalls in Azure.

Usage

Simple usage example:

local_peer_config = {
  name                = "peer-local_vnet-to-remote_vnet"
  resource_group_name = "local_resourcegroup_name"
  vnet_name           = "local_vnet_name"
}

remote_peer_config = {
  name                = "peer-remote_vnet-to-local_vnet"
  resource_group_name = "remote_resourcegroup_name"
  vnet_name           = "remote_vnet_name"
}

Required Inputs details

local_peer_config

A map that contains the local peer configuration. Mandatory Values:

• name - (string, required) the name of the local VNET peering.
• resource_group_name - (string, required) the resource group name of the local peer.
• vnet_name - (string, required) the local peer VNET name.
• allow_virtual_network_access - (bool, optional, defaults to true) allows communication between the two peering VNETs.
• allow_forwarded_traffic - (bool, optional, defaults to true) allows traffic forwarded from the remote VNET but not originated from within it.
• allow_gateway_transit - (bool, optional, defaults to false) controls the learning of routes from local VNET (gateway or route server) into the remote VNET. Must be true if use_remote_gateways is true for remote peer.
• use_remote_gateways - (bool, optional, defaults to false) controls the learning of routes from the remote VNET (gateway or route server) into the local VNET.

Type:

object({
    name                         = string
    resource_group_name          = string
    vnet_name                    = string
    allow_virtual_network_access = optional(bool, true)
    allow_forwarded_traffic      = optional(bool, true)
    allow_gateway_transit        = optional(bool, false)
    use_remote_gateways          = optional(bool, false)
  })

• allow_virtual_network_access - (bool, optional, defaults to true) allows communication between the two peering VNETs.
• allow_forwarded_traffic - (bool, optional, defaults to true) allows traffic forwarded from the local VNET but not originated from within it.
• allow_gateway_transit - (bool, optional, defaults to false) controls the learning of routes from remote VNET (gateway or route server) into the local VNET. Must be true if use_remote_gateways is true for remote peer.
• use_remote_gateways - (bool, optional, defaults to false) controls the learning of routes from the local VNET (gateway or route server) into the remote VNET.

Type:

object({
