Accessing service on a Virtual Machine from azure app service

Question

We have got VMs on Azure and services are running in there. We are trying to deploy our MVC Web application to Azure App service, which accesses some of the services from the VM using the private IPs but it can't connect to the service hosted on the VM using the private IP. We were assuming that all of our resources will be in the same network, can anyone help with this?

Thanks

Have a look at Azure App Service - Virtual network integration https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/web-sites-integrate-with-vnet — Fabrizio Accatino, Apr 11 '18 at 14:35
Thanks, just got the same answer from Azure support as well, on it now. — Talha Ahmed, Apr 11 '18 at 14:53

Azure App service are having two kinds of hostings

Single Tenant (App Service Environment) which is dedicated to the customer
Multi tenant ( shareable across other customer subscription inside a data center scale unit)

If your application is hosted as multi tenant application meaning app service URL {WEbAppName}.Azurewebsites.net then its internet facing application and if it needs to connect to any VNET (Virtual Network) hosted service then it needs to integrate to any or same VNET.

How to do App service VNET Integration: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/overview-vnet-integration#regional-virtual-network-integration

Once the App service integrated with VNET then ideally it has connectivity with all the services present inside the same VNET or with peered VNET.

How to confirm connectivity from App Service to VNET hosted resource. Go to App Services application => Advanced tools or console => perform below commands sequence wise as the HTTP communication happens through this sequence:

nslookup {Destination_FQDN} {Optional-DNSServer}/nameresolver {Destination_FQDN} {Optional-DNSServer}
tcpping {Destination FQDN}
curl -v {DestinationFQDN}

Common Scenarios: If you're receiving connection refused it means its NSG is not allowing the communication. If you're getting request time out it means it could be due to firewall or no proper routes to reach to destination. If its connection abort it means its intermediate device is not passing connection through.
