Azure Network Interface NAT Rule Association
This page shows how to write Terraform and Azure Resource Manager for Network Interface NAT Rule Association and write them securely.
azurerm_network_interface_nat_rule_association (Terraform)
The Interface NAT Rule Association in Network can be configured in Terraform with the resource name azurerm_network_interface_nat_rule_association. The following sections describe 10 examples of how to use the resource and its parameters.

Explanation in Terraform Registry
Manages the association between a Network Interface and a Load Balancer's NAT Rule.
Tips: Best Practices for The Other Azure Network Resources
In addition to the azurerm_network_security_group, Azure Network has the other resources that should be configured for security reasons. Please check some examples of those resources and precautions.
azurerm_network_security_group
Ensure to disable RDP port from the Internet
It is better to disable the RDP port from the Internet. RDP access should not be accepted from the Internet (*, 0.0.0.0, /0, internet, any), and consider using the Azure Bastion Service.
azurerm_network_security_rule
Ensure to set a more restrictive CIDR range for ingress from the internet
It is better to set a more restrictive CIDR range not to use very broad subnets. If possible, segments should be divided into smaller subnets.
azurerm_network_watcher_flow_log
Ensure to enable Retention policy for flow logs and set it to enough duration
It is better to enable a retention policy for flow logs. Flow logs show us all network activity in the cloud environment and support us when we face critical incidents.
Microsoft.Network/loadBalancers/inboundNatRules (Azure Resource Manager)
The loadBalancers/inboundNatRules in Microsoft.Network can be configured in Azure Resource Manager with the resource name Microsoft.Network/loadBalancers/inboundNatRules. The following sections describe how to use the resource and its parameters.
Example Usage from GitHub
An example could not be found in GitHub.
Parameters
namerequired - stringtyperequired - stringapiVersionrequired - stringpropertiesrequiredfrontendIPConfigurationrequiredidrequired - stringResource ID.
protocolrequired - stringThe reference to the transport protocol used by the load balancing rule.
frontendPortrequired - integerThe port for the external endpoint. Port numbers for each rule must be unique within the Load Balancer. Acceptable values range from 1 to 65534.
backendPortrequired - integerThe port used for the internal endpoint. Acceptable values range from 1 to 65535.
idleTimeoutInMinutesoptional - integerThe timeout for the TCP idle connection. The value can be set between 4 and 30 minutes. The default value is 4 minutes. This element is only used when the protocol is set to TCP.
enableFloatingIPoptional - booleanConfigures a virtual machine's endpoint for the floating IP capability required to configure a SQL AlwaysOn Availability Group. This setting is required when using the SQL AlwaysOn Availability Groups in SQL server. This setting can't be changed after you create the endpoint.
enableTcpResetoptional - booleanReceive bidirectional TCP Reset on TCP flow idle timeout or unexpected connection termination. This element is only used when the protocol is set to TCP.
Frequently asked questions
What is Azure Network Interface NAT Rule Association?
Azure Network Interface NAT Rule Association is a resource for Network of Microsoft Azure. Settings can be wrote in Terraform.
Where can I find the example code for the Azure Network Interface NAT Rule Association?
For Terraform, the nzebar/Terraform, jungcheolkwon/blueprint and tkaburagi/tfe-on-azure source code examples are useful. See the Terraform Example section for further details.
