Configure and Manage Azure Virtual Networks

Learn to create an Azure virtual network (VNet), define subnets with private IP ranges, configure network security groups and service endpoints, and manage firewall rules.

Learn to create a Windows Server 2016 virtual machine in Azure, configure network security group rules, assign a public IP and DNS, install IIS, and verify the web site.

Analyze how subnet and NIC security rules combine to form effective security rules, and how inbound and outbound traffic are evaluated with priority, requiring allowances at both levels.

Configure and manage Azure DNS to map domain names to IP addresses using DNS zones, records (A, CNAME, TXT), and registrar integration with REST API for seamless name resolution.

Learn how route tables govern traffic between subnets and VMs in Azure, using system and user-defined routes, next hops, and virtual appliances with IP forwarding.

Explore how to connect multiple Azure virtual networks and on-premises networks using site-to-site, point-to-site, and VNet peering, including ExpressRoute for private, low-latency connectivity.

Learn to establish a point-to-site vpn to Azure virtual network by configuring a VPN gateway, managing certificates, creating the gateway subnet, and deploying the VPN client for private IP connectivity.

Learn how to configure and connect two Azure virtual networks using a VNet-to-VNet VPN gateway, including cross-region considerations, shared keys, and verifying connectivity via private IP.

Explore VNet peering to connect two virtual networks via Microsoft backbone with private IPs, avoiding public internet, delivering low latency and higher bandwidth across regions and subscriptions.
