Hello Folks, At some point, your organization will retrospectively analyze existing firewall rules due to security and compliance posture. Imagine that you’re using Azure Firewall in your organization to generate analytics reports for existing firewall rules requiring a bespoke solution. There are many ways that you can achieve these types of reports. I used to develop a tailored solution using PowerShell and KQL queries to fit that requirement, but it might be very complex if you would like to apply this solution to large-scale environments. Thankfully, Microsoft has announced a new Azure Firewall feature that allows us to generate that report quickly and natively. We now call that feature Azure Firewall Policy Analytics.

In this article series, I will write about how we can migrate Azure Firewall Standard to Premium sku using PowerShell or Azure Resource Manageer Template. If you are using Azure Cloud, You are probably using Azure Firewall Standard in your Hub and Spoke topogolty to protect ingress and egress traffic for your services.

This article guides you with the required steps to manually migrate your Standard firewall and policy to Premium.

Before you start the migration, understand the migration tasks and plan ahead for the required maintenance window. Typical down time of 20-30 minutes is expected.
