The video is a hands-on lab demonstrating various Azure networking components and services.
It includes 11 labs and 63 exercises covering Azure Networking Basics, Hybrid Networking, Azure Firewall, ExpressRoute, Front Door Service, Virtual Network Service Endpoints, Azure DDoS Protection, and more.
Key Topics and Exercises
Azure Networking Components
Virtual Networks and Subnets: Create virtual networks with multiple subnets for different services like gateway, shared services, database, and public web services.
IP Addressing: Set IP address ranges for networks and subnets.
DNS Settings: Configure DNS settings within Azure.
Global VNet Peering: Connect resources across different virtual networks.
Azure Firewall
Setup and Configuration: Deploy Azure Firewall in your network for security.
Rules and Policies: Configure application and network rules for traffic control.
Testing: Verify firewall functionality by testing access to specific resources.
Azure ExpressRoute
Overview: Connect on-premises networks to Azure using high-bandwidth dedicated circuits.
Steps: Create a virtual network gateway, establish an ExpressRoute circuit, and configure connections.
Testing: Verify connectivity and traffic flow between on-premises and Azure.
Azure Front Door Service
Overview: Global load balancing service for web applications.
Configuration: Setup traffic manager profiles, add endpoints, and set routing methods.
Failover Testing: Simulate endpoint failure and verify traffic rerouting.
Virtual Network Service Endpoints
Purpose: Securely connect Azure services to virtual networks.
Configuration: Enable service endpoints for resources like storage accounts.
Access Control: Use NSGs to restrict internet access while allowing Azure service traffic.
Azure DDoS Protection
Overview: Protect Azure resources from distributed denial-of-service attacks.
Configuration: Create DDoS protection plans and monitor network traffic.
Testing: Simulate DDoS attacks and verify protection measures.
Azure Load Balancer
Setup: Deploy load balancers to distribute traffic among multiple virtual machines.
Health Probes: Monitor VM health and automatically adjust traffic distribution.
Testing: Verify load balancing by connecting to backend services.
Azure Application Gateway
Overview: Load balancing solution with application-level routing capabilities.
Setup: Configure backend pools, routing rules, and health probes.
