Intended Audience
This course is intended for IT professionals who are interested in earning Azure certification and for those who work with Microsoft Azure on a daily basis.
Prerequisites
To get the most from this course, you should have at least a basic understanding of Azure network resources such as virtual networks, Azure firewalls, and network security groups.
Virtual private networks, or VPNs, are used to extend physical on-prem networks into Azure. To be honest, you can even use VPNs to connect separate virtual networks. For example, you can use a site-to-site VPN to connect an Azure virtual network to a virtual network in AWS or even GCP.
For a more robust connection between an on-prem network and Azure, you can use what's called ExpressRoute instead of a VPN connection. Using ExpressRoute allows you to create a connection to an Azure virtual network without requiring your traffic to traverse the internet.
Whether you use a site-to-site VPN connection or ExpressRoute, you can allow all on-prem users to access Azure resources and services as if they're physically located on-prem within your own datacenter.
In cases where you need to allow an individual user to connect to an Azure virtual network, you can even use a point-to-site VPN. This type of VPN connection is similar to solutions like FortiGate or Cisco AnyConnect. In the next lesson, I'm going to show you how to connect two networks using a site-to-site VPN connection.
