Introduction to Azure network foundation services

Microsoft via Microsoft Learn

Overview

  • Module 1: In this module, you'll learn how to design and implement fundamental Azure Networking resources such as virtual networks, public and private IPs, DNS, virtual network peering, routing, and Azure Virtual NAT.

    At the end of this module, you'll be able to:

    • Implement virtual networks
    • Configure public IP services
    • Design and implement name resolution
    • Design and implement cross-VNET connectivity
    • Implement virtual network routing
    • Design and implement an Azure Virtual Network NAT
  • Module 2: Describe how Azure Private Link enables private connectivity to Azure services, including its features, how it works, and its use cases.

    After completing this module, you’ll be able to:

    • Explain how Azure Private Link, Azure Private Endpoint, and Azure Private Link service work together to create private connections to Azure resources.
    • Evaluate whether Azure Private Link is appropriate for giving your employees, vendors, and customers private access to your Azure services.
    • Identify and describe use cases for Azure Private Link.
  • Module 3: Azure DNS is a cloud service that allows you to host and manage domain name system (DNS) domains, also known as DNS zones.

    In this module, you will:

    • Learn what Azure DNS is and the functionality it provides.
    • Determine whether Azure DNS meets the needs of your organization.
    • Understand the difference between Azure DNS public and private zones.
  • Module 4: Evaluate whether Microsoft Azure NAT Gateway is appropriate for resolving issues such as connection timeouts and delays connecting to the internet.

    By the end of this module, you're able to:

    • Describe the Azure NAT Gateway service.
    • Recognize scenarios where Azure NAT Gateway is applicable.
    • Perform basic deployment of the Azure NAT Gateway service.
  • Module 5: Evaluate whether Microsoft Azure Route Server is appropriate for resolving delays and outages in network communication.

    By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

    • Describe Azure Route Server.
    • Recognize scenarios where Azure Route Server is applicable.
    • Describe the high-level steps for Azure Route Server deployment.
  • Module 6: This module explains what Azure Network Watcher does, how it works, and when you should choose to use Network Watcher as a solution to meet your organization's needs.

    In this module, you will:

    • Learn what Azure Network Watcher is and the functionality it provides.
    • Determine whether Azure Network Watcher meets the needs of your organization.
  • Module 7: Describe routing preference and routing preference unmetered in Azure and recognize scenarios where routing preference is applicable.

    By the end of this module, you're able to:

    • Evaluate whether routing preference is right for network cost savings and the routing of traffic for your application or service.
    • Describe how the routing preference options of "Internet" and "Microsoft network" affect the routing of network traffic and the differences of both.
    • Describe what routing preference unmetered is and its requirements.
