This is a continuation of the posts on Azure Data Platform and discusses the connections to be made for Azure Data Factory to reach on-premises data stores.

The networking solution to connect Azure Data Factory to on-premises is the same as for any other Azure service to reach the on-premises network. It includes private endpoint for incoming traffic, virtual network integrations for outgoing traffic, gateways and on-premises connectivity. Every virtual network can have its own gateway and this gateway can be used to connect to the on-premises network. When virtual networks connect via their gateways, the traffic between them flows through the peering configuration. This traffic uses the Azure Backbone.  A virtual network can configure a gateway as a transit point to an on-premises network, but it will not have its own gateway in this case because there can be only one gateway either local or remote. Gateway transit is a peering property that lets one virtual network use the VPN gateway in the peered virtual network for cross-premises or VNet-to-VNet connectivity.

Gateway transit allows the peered virtual networks to use the Azure VPN gateway in the hub. Connectivity available on the VPN gateway includes Site-to-Site connection to the on-premises site, Point-to-Site connection for VPN clients and VNet-to-VNet connections to other VNets. The VPN gateway is placed in the hub virtual network and the virtual network gateway must be in the resource manager deployment model, not the classic deployment model.  The resource manager and classic deployment models are two different ways of deploying Azure solutions and involve different API sets. The two models aren’t compatible with each other. Virtual machines, storage accounts and virtual networks support both Resource Manager and classic deployment models and all other services support resource manager. Resources created by these two different methods do not behave the same.

In the hub and spoke cloud virtual networks topology, the gateway transit allows them to share the VPN gateway in the hub. Routes to the gateway connected virtual network or to the on-premises will propagate to the routing tables of all the peered networks. This default behavior must be explicitly restricted in the VPN gateway by creating a table with the “Disable BGP route propagation” option and the routing table to the subnets must be associated with. The Network Contributor role that grants permission for Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworkPeerings/write must be granted.

In the Azure portal view of the Hub RM virtual network, a peering is added with the values specified in “This virtual network” section as “Allow” for traffic to remote virtual network, “Allow” for traffic forwarded to remote virtual network and with the option selected to “Use this virtual network’s gateway or Route Server”. On the same page, the values for the “Remote Virtual network” section must specify the deployment model as “Resource Manager”, the virtual network to be the Spoke RM virtual network, the traffic to remote virtual network to be allowed, the traffic forwarded from the remote virtual network to be allowed. The virtual network gateway for this section will specify to use the remote virtual network’s gateway which is the hub’s gateway. When this peering is created, it’s status will appear as connected on both virtual networks.

To confirm that the virtual networks are peered, we can check the effective routes by spot checking the routes of a network interface in any subnet in the virtual network. These subnets will have routes with next hop type as VNet peering, for each address space in each peered virtual network.

Problem Statement: A 0-indexed integer array nums is given.

Swaps of adjacent elements are able to be performed on nums.

A valid array meets the following conditions:

·        The largest element (any of the largest elements if there are multiple) is at the rightmost position in the array.

·        The smallest element (any of the smallest elements if there are multiple) is at the leftmost position in the array.

Return the minimum swaps required to make nums a valid array.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [3,4,5,5,3,1]

Output: 6

Explanation: Perform the following swaps:

- Swap 1: Swap the 3rd and 4th elements, nums is then [3,4,5,3,5,1].

- Swap 2: Swap the 4th and 5th elements, nums is then [3,4,5,3,1,5].

- Swap 3: Swap the 3rd and 4th elements, nums is then [3,4,5,1,3,5].

- Swap 4: Swap the 2nd and 3rd elements, nums is then [3,4,1,5,3,5].

- Swap 5: Swap the 1st and 2nd elements, nums is then [3,1,4,5,3,5].

- Swap 6: Swap the 0th and 1st elements, nums is then [1,3,4,5,3,5].

It can be shown that 6 swaps is the minimum swaps required to make a valid array.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [9]

Output: 0

Explanation: The array is already valid, so we return 0.

 

Constraints:

·         1 <= nums.length <= 105

·         1 <= nums[i] <= 105

Solution:

class Solution {

    public int minimumSwaps(int[] nums) {

        int min = Arrays.stream(nums).min().getAsInt();

        int max = Arrays.stream(nums).max().getAsInt();

        int count = 0;

        while (nums[0] != min && nums[nums.length-1] != max && count < 2 * nums.length) {           

            var numsList = Arrays.stream(nums).boxed().collect(Collectors.toList());

            var end = numsList.lastIndexOf(max);

            for (int i = end; i < nums.length-1; i++) {

                swap(nums, i, i+1);

                count++;

            }

 

            numsList = Arrays.stream(nums).boxed().collect(Collectors.toList());

            var start = numsList.indexOf(min);

            for (int j = start; j >= 1; j--) {

                swap(nums, j, j-1);

                count++;

            }

        }

 

        return count;

    }

 

    public void swap (int[] nums, int i, int j) {

        int temp = nums[j];

        nums[j] = nums[i];

        nums[i] = temp;

    }

}

 

Input

nums =

[3,4,5,5,3,1]

Output

6

Expected

6

 

Input

nums =

[9]

Output

0

Expected

0
