Azure Networking Fundamentals: A Baseline for Understanding Networking in the Cloud

This video provides you with a baseline understanding of Azure Networking. It begins with an introduction to the high-level architecture of Azure Virtual Networks so that you can become familiar with the core capabilities, concepts, and settings of this technology. From there you will gain a basic understanding of firewall security, and discover how to leverage it using Network Security Groups and Application Security Groups. Then it is on to an overview of Azure load balancing services, including Azure Load Balancer, Azure Traffic Manager, and Front Door. Finally, you will learn about VPN Gateways and how they facilitate Azure VNet-to-VNet communication, as well as hybrid connectivity between on-premises and Azure networks.

Networking is the cornerstone of any data center. While it is not entirely different in a cloud environment like Azure, you will discover that building a cloud networking stack also has its own eccentricities. For example, you will no longer be managing the physical layer, and not all services are available the same way as on-premises. All these quirks are covered in this video. After viewing Azure Networking Fundamentals you will be ready to get started in building and deploying your own enterprise-ready networking designs in Azure and/hybrid networking scenarios.
