Syllabus

Azure Virtual Network Configuration and Secure Access Management

Welcome to Week 1 of the Virtual Networks in Azure Course. In this week introduces you to the core building blocks of Azure networking. You’ll learn to deploy and manage virtual networks, configure subnets, create NAT gateways, and implement VPN gateways for hybrid connectivity. You will also explore VNet peering, user-defined routes, and techniques for diagnosing network connectivity issues. The module also covers essential security controls such as Network Security Groups, Application Security Groups, Azure DDoS Protection, Bastion access, and private connectivity via service endpoints and private endpoints.

Azure Virtual Networking: DNS & Load Balancer Services

This week focuses on how name resolution and load distribution are implemented in Azure environments. You’ll explore Azure DNS to understand how domains and records are managed in the cloud. You’ll then set up Azure Load Balancer to distribute traffic across virtual machines for scalability and resilience. Through guided demos, you’ll deploy VNets, configure backend pools, install IIS, and validate load balancing behavior. By the end of this week, you’ll know how to deliver scalable, highly available network architectures using Azure DNS and Load Balancer.
