Azure networking is a core foundation for implementing other Azure services. If you plan to deploy Virtual Machines in Azure, you must understand Virtual Networks. Secure your resources by implementing network isolation and segmentation. Protect your resources from malicious traffic and block unauthorized access with Azure Firewall. This short course will provide hands-on experience deploying these core Azure networking services.

This Short Course was created to help learners accomplish Azure networking skills essential for deploying and managing resources securely and efficiently. By completing this course you'll be able to create and configure Virtual Networks (VNets) for your infrastructure, set up network routing, implement Network Security Groups (NSGs) for traffic control, configure Azure Firewall for enhanced security, and manage DNS settings for reliable name resolution. Through hands-on learning, you'll gain the expertise needed to navigate Azure networking confidently.

By the end of this 1.5-hour long course, you will be able to:

- Prepare the Microsoft Azure Lab Environment

- Create and configure virtual networks

- Configure network routing

- Create and configure network security groups (NSGs)

- Create and configure Azure Firewall

- Create DNS zones and configure DNS settings

This course is unique because the customized hands-on learning experiences are tailored to the learner for success in using Azure services.

To be successful in this project, you should have a background in the Azure and networking fundamentals. To perform the lab, you will need an active Azure subscription.

Lesson 1: Prepare the Microsoft Azure Lab Environment
In this foundational Lesson, you will prepare your own lab environment with a free trial of Microsoft Azure. Then we will explore the trial’s features and options throughout this lesson and short course, to prepare them for use in their real-world environments.
Lesson 2: Creating and Configuring Virtual Networks
In this lesson, you will learn about key Azure networking skills essential for deploying and managing resources securely and efficiently. Each year, more companies are backing up and/or migrating servers into the cloud. In the past, the steps to set up a network, integrate it with applications, add security, and monitor the server were arduous and manual, including having to set up hardware, wiring, and software. Today, cloud products such as Azure offer a single software solution to perform all these duties, including a built-in monitoring solution to keep servers working, updated, and as secure as possible. Lastly, because Azure is a cloud product, the servers can be managed from anywhere in the world, 24/7.
Lesson 3: Routing, Subnets, Location, and Policies Overview
In this lesson, you will be able to fully understand the concept of routing for the purposes of segmenting networks, discoverability, and location of Internal and Externally facing address/location of networks. It will also introduce the policy of best practice and standardization of policies regarding virtual network routing.
Lesson 4: Create and Configure Network Security Groups (NSGs)
In this lesson, you will be able to fully understand how Network Security Groups fit into the grand scheme of Azure Virtual Networks with regard to providing security at the network level, by controlling traffic to and from Azure resources. We will also look into defining rules to allow or deny traffic based on source/destination IP addresses,
Lesson 5: Create and Configure Azure Firewall
Consider this lesson the icing on the cake for traffic control of Azure resources. In this lesson, you will come to terms with how everything that has been covered so far, will keep your Azure environment as safe as possible with regard to traffic security.
Lesson 6: Create DNS Zones and Configure DNS Settings
In this lesson, you will be able to solidify efficiency, security, and review how-to concepts to the Virtual Networks first created in this course. These concepts, demos, hands-on labs, and questions were designed to complete your learning about Virtual Networks in the Azure portal and this final lesson aims to prepare you in applying these concepts back in your own enterprise.
