Seamless Connectivity to Azure with Windows Server and Hybrid Networking from Pluralsight

Microsoft Ignite 2019 | Seamless Connectivity to Azure with Windows Server and Hybrid Networking | Greg Cusanza

Being able to connect your on-premises workloads to Azure to create a hybrid network is one of the keys to being successful in the cloud. Windows Server has all the tools needed to create the type of connectivity you require. In this session, we touch on the basics of using Windows Server VPN connections with Azure, then we jump into a new way to use Windows Server to stretch subnets enabling you to migrate existing machines into Azure without changing their IP addresses. Finally, we show how new SDN extensions in Windows Admin Center make it easy to connect and maintain security with site-to-site connections into Azure.
