# Ensure deployment slot is integrated with a virtual network

## Description

Integrate App Service deployment slots with a virtual network to enable access to resources in or through a non-internet-routable virtual network.

## Rationale

Integrate App Service deployment slots with a virtual network for increased security and control.

## 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`, ensure that a virtual network and subnet name are displayed.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 for each app and deployment slot.

### Using Azure CLI

Run the following command to list apps:

```bash
az webapp list
```

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

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

For each deployment slot, ensure that `virtualNetworkSubnetId` is set to a virtual network subnet ID.

## Expected Result

The `virtualNetworkSubnetId` property should contain a valid virtual network subnet resource ID (not null or empty).

## 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 `Not configured`.
7. Click `Add virtual network integration`.
8. Select an existing App Service Plan connection, or select `New connection` and select a subscription, virtual network, and subnet.
9. Click `Connect`.
10. Repeat steps 1-9 for each app and deployment slot requiring remediation.

## Default Value

By default, virtual network integration is not configured.
