What a shit show. Seriously I can never rant enough about how awful Azure networking and their bullshit concepts is. Like they don’t know how to do networking, so they’re gonna introduce a bunch of shit and pretend that nonesense makes perfect sense because of their own ineptitude.

Most of the complexity is a side-effect of having to do IPv4 far past the scale where the ~17 million private addresses might be sufficient.

Some of the complexity seems to be the security theater of the lowest common denominator of customer demands. Companies invest too much money into incredibly expensive Palo Alto firewalls then demand Azure route through those too so that their cloud operations are as theatrically "secure" as their main network because look at all those amazing sunk costs invested in it.
