Study Notes

Secure Communication Between Azure Resources

Two methods for secure communication are Private Link and Virtual Network Peering.
Private Link enables private connectivity by allowing Azure resources to communicate over a private endpoint, avoiding exposure to the internet.
Virtual Network Peering connects Azure virtual networks directly, allowing resources in different networks to communicate securely.

Dedicated Private Connectivity

Azure ExpressRoute provides dedicated private connectivity to Azure services without using the public internet.

Controlling Routing in Azure

Custom routing can be achieved using User-Defined Routes (UDR), allowing users to override default Azure routing configurations.

Site-to-Site VPN Purpose

A site-to-site virtual private network establishes a secure connection between an on-premises network and an Azure virtual network, enabling data transfer over encrypted tunnels.

Traffic Direction Rules

Network Security Groups (NSGs) allow users to define rules that determine how network traffic is directed to and from Azure resources.

Incoming Connections from the Internet

Incoming connections can be enabled using Public IP addresses or Azure Load Balancers, allowing external access to Azure resources.

Key Networking Capabilities of Azure Virtual Networks

Azure virtual networks facilitate resource isolation, segmentation, and communication, enabling network control by defining subnets, security policies, and routing.

Public vs. Private Endpoints

Public endpoints expose Azure resources to the public internet, while private endpoints allow access to resources securely within a private network.

Communication Enablement

Azure virtual networking supports communication through both internal (on-premises or Azure) and external (internet) resources by utilizing private and public endpoints.

Isolation and Segmentation

An IP range described as 'isolation and segmentation' indicates that virtual networks can enforce policies preventing data leakage and unauthorized access among different networks.

Name Resolution

Azure virtual networking provides DNS services, enabling automatic name resolution for resources within the virtual network, facilitating easier access and communication.

Defining Subnet IP Address Space

The CIDR notation or Classless Inter-Domain Routing determines the IP address space for subnets within an Azure virtual network, defining the range and availability of IP addresses.
