Here's a typical infrastructure that can be used to host the iRely application in Microsoft Azure.

Virtual Machine

  • App Server
    • Operating System
      • Windows Server 2022
    • Size 
      • 8 vCPUs, 64 GB memory (e.g. E8as_v4)
    • OS Disk
      • Premium SSD - 128 GB
    • Data Disk
      • Premium SSD - 512 GB
  • Database Server
    • Operating System
      • Windows Server 2022
    • Database
    • Size
      • 8 vCPUs, 64 GB memory (e.g. E8as_v4)
    • OS Disk
      • Premium SSD - 128 GB
    • Data Disk
      • Premium SSD - 512 GB (or larger based on data)

Networking

  • Resource Group
    • Organize and manage your Azure resources.
  • Virtual Network
    • Create a virtual network to isolate your environment.
  • Network Security Group (NSG)
    • Configure rules to control inbound and outbound traffic, protecting the VMs.
  • Network Interface (NIC)
    • The interconnection between a virtual machine and a virtual network.
  • Public IP Address 
    • Assign if direct external access is required.

Other Considerations

  • Premium SSD
    • Use for OS and data disks to ensure high performance and low latency.
  • Azure Backup
    • Enable for regular backups of your VMs and data.
  • Azure Site Recovery (ASR)
    • ASR is a best-in-class disaster recovery solution hosted in Azure
    • A near-constant data replication process makes sure copies are in sync
  • VPN
    • Virtual Private Network is optional.
  • End Point Protection (EDR)
    • Optionally install a good EDR solutions like SentinelOne.
