Ensure all traffic is routed through the virtual network

Description

Enable vnetRouteAllEnabled to ensure all outbound traffic is routed through the integrated virtual network.

This recommendation should be applied after integrating an App Service deployment slot with a virtual network.

Rationale

Routing all outbound traffic through the virtual network enhances security.

Impact

Additional configuration may be required to ensure that traffic is routed properly.

Audit Procedure

Using Azure Portal

1. Go to App Services.
2. Click the name of an app.
3. Under Deployment, click Deployment slots.
4. Click the name of a deployment slot.
5. Under Settings, click Networking.
6. Under Outbound traffic configuration, next to Virtual network integration, click the virtual network and subnet name.
7. Under Application routing, ensure that the box next to Outbound internet traffic is checked.
8. Repeat steps 1-7 for each app and deployment slot.

Using Azure CLI

Run the following command to list apps:

az webapp list

For each app, run the following command to list deployment slots:

az webapp deployment slot list --resource-group <resource-group-name> --name <app-name>

For each deployment slot, ensure that vnetRouteAllEnabled is set to true.

Expected Result

The vnetRouteAllEnabled property should be set to true.

Remediation

Using Azure Portal

1. Go to App Services.
2. Click the name of an app.
3. Under Deployment, click Deployment slots.
4. Click the name of a deployment slot.
5. Under Settings, click Networking.
6. Under Outbound traffic configuration, next to Virtual network integration, click the virtual network and subnet name.
7. Under Application routing, check the box next to Outbound internet traffic.
8. Click Apply.
9. Repeat steps 1-8 for each app and deployment slot requiring remediation.

Using Azure CLI

For each deployment slot requiring remediation, run the following command to route all traffic through the virtual network:

az resource update --resource-group <resource-group-name> --name <app-name>/slots/<deployment-slot-name> --resource-type "Microsoft.Web/sites" --set properties.vnetRouteAllEnabled=true

Default Value

For deployment slots integrated with a virtual network, all traffic is routed through the virtual network by default.
