Parallels Run Between Local On-Prem and Azure

[dday9]

We have a client who has an on-prem instance of MySQL and eventually we want to get everything migrated to Azure.

In the meantime, how can we make the on-prem instance communicate directly with Azure?

Ideally I want to create a "hop". Our rewrite application hits Azure and Azure hits the on-prem MySQL database.

Is this possible?

Is it not possible, to install a (temporary) IIS-instance in the customer-LAN,
which is also reachable "from outside"?

If yes, then you'll be able to simply delegate incoming https-requests (via http):
- from your Azure-Webservice
- to your temorary IIS-instance
The Azure-WS in this case, will then act like a Proxy...

This means, that you'll develop and test your WebApp behind the (local, customer-LAN-based) IIS for a time...

It might be worth looking at creating a VPN from your on-prem environment to Azure, this would allow Azure hosted applications to access your on prem database without exposing the DB directly to the internet.

If your app is going to be an Azure App Service then there is also https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/az...id-connections as an option to consider.
