Connecting On-premises Networks with Azure Virtual Networks from Pluralsight

One of the great strengths of Microsoft Azure is its robust support for the hybrid cloud. In this advanced-level course, you'll gain the conceptual and practical knowledge to implement a hybrid cloud between on-premises and Azure environments.

In this course, Connecting On-premises Networks with Azure Virtual Networks, you’ll learn how to connect your on-premises Active Directory domain to an Azure virtual network with maximum security and performance. First, you’ll learn how to prepare the Azure environment for a hybrid cloud. Next, you’ll explore the on-premises configure required to establish a virtual private network (VPN) connection with Azure. Finally, you’ll discover how ExpressRoute offers a higher-speed connection to Azure that bypasses the public Internet entirely. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have a foundational knowledge of the Azure hybrid cloud scenario that will help you as you move forward in your career as an Azure solution architect or administrator.
