Microsoft Azure supports a variety of options for both internal and external networking. In this lesson, you will learn how to design a network implementation using the appropriate Azure services.
Some of the highlights include:
- Configuring virtual networks to connect Azure resources to each other
- Deploying public and private load balancers to distribute incoming traffic to a pool of backend VMs
- Load balancing across multiple regions using Azure Traffic Manager
- Connecting on-premises networks to Azure either directly using ExpressRoute or over the internet through a site-to-site or point-to-site VPN
- Overriding system default routes to meet your own custom routing needs
- Protecting your applications from attacks with a web application firewall
- Using network security groups to create a demilitarized zone (DMZ)
- Building hybrid applications that include both Azure and on-premises resources using Azure Relay
- Copying on-premises data to Azure using Data Factory, the Self-hosted Integration Runtime, and the On-Premises Data Gateway
