Introduction to Azure Networking

In this lesson, 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.
