Discover how cloud computing stores and accesses data and programs over the internet through remote data centers and service provider infrastructure, with on-demand self-service and scalable, pay-as-you-go resources.
Explore cloud computing service models by contrasting infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and software as a service, with real-world examples and benefits.
Compare public, private, and hybrid cloud deployment models, highlighting cost savings and on-demand elasticity in public and private security within firewalls; note trade-offs in security, maintenance, and governance.
Explore how Azure provides infrastructure as a service and a cloud platform, enabling provisioning, management, monitoring, and hybrid model for scalable, globally available applications.
Explore three Azure hosting deployment models, including virtual machines for complete operating system control, app service for web and mobile apps, and logic apps for integrated workflows.
Survey Azure services from database as a service, storage and document databases to queues and service bus, plus global networking, security groups, and Active Directory integration for secure, scalable apps.
Explore Azure virtual networking fundamentals, including subnets, network security groups, IP addressing (public and private, static and dynamic), NICs, VMs, load balancers, DNS, and site-to-site VPN.
Learn to configure Azure subscriptions, navigate classic and new portals, and use free credits. Apply pay-as-you-go or enterprise agreements, manage resource groups, and control access.
Create and configure an Azure virtual network with subnets, a network security group, and virtual machines; assign public IPs and DNS names, and define security rules.
Demonstrates configuring an internet-facing Azure load balancer to distribute traffic across multiple virtual machines in an availability set within a front-end subnet, using health probes, NAT rules, and session persistence.
This course provides a focused and practical learning path to understand and manage Azure Virtual Networking, a core skill required for the AZ-104 Azure Administrator role.
You will start with essential cloud computing fundamentals, including cloud characteristics, service models, and deployment models, to build a strong foundation before working with Azure networking concepts. The course then introduces Microsoft Azure, its hosting models, and key Azure services to help you understand how networking fits into the overall Azure ecosystem.
As the course progresses, you will dive deep into Azure Virtual Networking, beginning with virtual networks, subnets, and IP addressing concepts. You will learn how to create and configure VNets, associate subnets, apply Network Security Groups (NSGs), and understand how virtual machines communicate securely within a network.
The course also covers important Azure networking components such as Azure Load Balancer, Availability Sets, Application Gateway, and Traffic Manager, helping you understand how Azure handles high availability, load distribution, and traffic routing. In addition, you will learn how to configure Point-to-Site VPN connections to enable secure remote access.
Each topic is explained through structured video lessons that focus on real-world Azure administration scenarios. Practice tests are included to help you assess your understanding and reinforce key networking concepts required for the AZ-104 exam and day-to-day Azure administration tasks.
By the end of this course, you will be confident in configuring, managing, and troubleshooting Azure virtual networks in real-world environments.
