Summary

In this chapter, we started by understanding the virtual network architecture with Azure Stack Hub. This included physical network connectivity and the logical networks. From there, we ran through the different network services, such as software load balancers, network security groups, network peering, and DNS services. We then took a deeper dive into the DNS services and the different types of DNS servers available. From there, we moved on to network connectivity, including virtual private network gateways. Finally, we ran through virtual network peering.

In the next chapter, we will cover storage and compute resources.
