Microsoft provides organizations with an effective way of managing their network with Azure's networking services. No matter the size of your organization, Azure provides highly reliable performance and secure connectivity with its networking services.

The book starts with an introduction to Azure networking, covering subjects such as creating Azure Virtual Networks (VNets), designing address spaces, and subnets. Then you will learn how to create and manage network security groups, application security groups, and IP addresses in Azure. Gradually, we move on to Site-to-Site, Point-to-Site, and VNet-to-VNet connections; DNS and routing; load balancers; and traffic manager. This book delivers practical recipes that cover every aspect and function required to help readers learn basic cloud networking practices, and plan, implement, and secure their infrastructure network with Azure. Readers will not only be able to upscale their current environment, but will also learn how to monitor, diagnose, and ensure secure connectivity. After learning how to deliver a robust environment, readers will also gain meaningful insights from recipes on best practices.

By the end of this book, readers will have hands-on experience of providing cost-effective solutions that benefit organizations.

This book targets cloud architects, cloud solution providers, or any stakeholders dealing with networking on the Azure cloud. Some prior understanding of Microsoft Azure will be a plus point.
