Transcript

Hi everyone, and welcome back. Azure Firewall is a cloud-based network security service that is designed to protect Azure Virtual Network resources. It's fully stateful and features built-in high availability as well as unrestricted cloud scalability.

Using Azure Firewall, organizations can centrally create application and network connectivity policies across subscriptions and networks. Because Azure Firewall uses a static, public IP address for the virtual network resources behind it, it permits outside firewalls to identify traffic that comes from the protected virtual network. Because Azure Firewall is fully integrated with Azure Monitor, organizations can also perform logging and analysis against it.

Azure firewall offers several key features, including built-in high availability, availability-zone spanning, unrestricted cloud scalability, application FQDN traffic-filtering rules, and network traffic-filtering rules. Other features of Azure Firewall include things like: support for FQDN tags, service tags, and threat intelligence. You can even associate up to 100 different public IP addresses with an Azure Firewall.

To see a complete and detailed list of all Azure Firewall features, visit the URL that you see on your screen.

In the next lesson, I'll show you how to create and configure Azure Firewall. So hop over there, and let's get started.
