Microsoft Azure Networking Fundamentals

Welcome to Microsoft Azure Networking Fundamentals course designed for cloud learners, Azure administrators, infrastructure professionals, and IT professionals who want to build strong networking skills in Microsoft Azure.

This course introduces the core networking concepts and services used to design, connect, secure, and optimize Azure environments. You’ll learn how Azure Virtual Networks provide the foundation for communication between cloud resources and explore key networking services used in modern cloud architectures.

You’ll begin by understanding Azure networking fundamentals, including virtual networks, DNS, subnets, public IP addresses, and network segmentation. From there, you’ll learn how to design and configure Azure Virtual Networks and connect Azure environments with on-premises and other networks using VPN Gateway, NAT Gateway, ExpressRoute, and hybrid networking technologies.

The course also covers traffic distribution and network security. You’ll explore Azure Load Balancer, Traffic Manager, Application Gateway, Azure Front Door, service endpoints, private endpoints, Network Security Groups, Application Security Groups, and Azure Firewall.

Through concept-driven lessons, guided demonstrations, and practical networking scenarios, you’ll develop the skills needed to design secure and reliable Azure network environments and understand how different Azure networking services work together.
