In this course, I’ll start with an overview of Azure Virtual Networks (or VNets), which are at the heart of Azure networking. Then I’ll go over some of the different ways to connect a VNet to other networks, including on-premises networks. Finally, I’ll explain private endpoints, which allow you to connect a virtual network to various Azure services in a private and secure manner.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the purpose of Azure Virtual Networks
- Describe Azure virtual subnets, VNet peering, Azure DNS, Azure VPN Gateway, and Azure ExpressRoute
- Describe public and private endpoints
Intended Audience
- People who want to understand the basics of Azure networking
- People preparing to take the Azure Fundamentals exam
Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of Azure (or take our Overview of Azure Services course)
- Some knowledge of basic networking concepts, such as IP addresses
Welcome to “Introduction to Azure Networking”. I’m Guy Hummel.
In this course, I’ll start with an overview of Azure Virtual Networks (or VNets), which are at the heart of Azure networking. Then I’ll go over some of the different ways to connect a VNet to other networks, including on-premises networks. Finally, I’ll explain private endpoints, which allow you to connect a virtual network to various Azure services in a private and secure manner.
To get the most from this course, you should already have some basic knowledge of Azure. If you don’t have any experience with Azure, then you can take our “Overview of Azure Services” course. You should also have some knowledge of basic networking concepts, such as IP addresses.
We’d love to get your feedback on this course, so please give it a rating when you’re finished. Thanks!
