VNet Peering and VNet Links

Congratulations on getting the HyperExecute Private setup deployed on your Azure Cloud!

You need to provision a certain public machine inside the Vnet to access this private setup in your environment. This setup cannot access your private applications, URLs, and APIs directly due to the measures set in place for optimal security.

To solve this issue, we need to perform Vnet peering from the Vnet that is created inside the HyperExecute dedicated resource group to the Vnet that is already present in your account. This account must be the one which contains all of your endpoints, or your test execution account, as the test machines need to access those endpoints.

You can enable Vnet peering and Vnet linking in your account by following the process documented below. This process uses an ARM template to provision the resources.

Steps to Deploy ARM Template

Navigate to the search bar in your Azure account and search for Deploy Custom Template. Select the option which matches the searched name.

You will be able to see Custom Deployment page.

Click on Build your own template in the editor to go to the Edit template section.

Clear all the text present in the editor and paste the contents of the ARM script provided below.
