What is Azure?
Microsoft Azure provides a full suite of networking services built around the concept of Virtual Networks (VNets), which are the foundational isolated network environments where Azure resources are deployed. Key networking services include VNet Peering for connecting virtual networks together, Azure VPN Gateway for site-to-site and point-to-site VPN connections, ExpressRoute for dedicated private connectivity between on-premises networks and Azure, Azure Firewall for centralized network security, Network Security Groups (NSGs) for controlling inbound and outbound traffic, and Azure Load Balancer and Application Gateway for distributing traffic across services. Azure also offers Azure Virtual WAN for large-scale branch connectivity and Azure DNS for managing domain name resolution within and across cloud environments.
