Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies: Exam Guide AZ-300

By: Sjoukje Zaal

Overview of this book

From designing solutions on Azure to configuring and managing virtual networks, AZ-300 certification can help you achieve all this and more. Whether you want to get certified or gain hands-on experience in administering, developing, and architecting Azure solutions, this study guide will help you get started. The book features not only the different exam objectives, but also guides you through configuring, managing, securing, and architecting Azure resources. Divided into five modules, this book will systematically take you through the different concepts and features as you advance through the sections. The first module demonstrates how to deploy and configure infrastructure. You will cover techniques related to implementing workloads and security, before learning how to create and deploy apps in the next module. To build on your knowledge, the final two modules will get you up to speed with implementing authentication, data security, and application and platform monitoring, along with covering Azure storage, alerting, and automation strategies. Finally, you’ll work through exam-based mock tests with answers to boost your confidence in passing the exam. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned the concepts and techniques you need to know in order to prepare for the AZ-300 exam, along with the skills to design effective solutions on Microsoft Azure.

Understanding Azure VNet

An Azure VNet is a virtual representation of a traditional network that's hosted in the cloud. It is totally software-based, whereas traditional networks use cables, routers, and more. VNets provide a secure and isolated environment and they connect Azure resources to each other. By default, the different resources can't be reached from outside of the VNet. However, you can connect multiple VNets to each other or connect a VNet to your on-premises network. All the Azure resources that are connected to each other inside the same VNet must reside in the same region and subscription.

When you create a VNet, one subnet is automatically created for you. You can create multiple subnets inside the same VNet (with a maximum of 1,000 subnets per VNet). Connecting multiple VNets together is called VNet peering. A maximum of 10 peering is allowed per Azure subscription.

The smallest subnet that can be used in Azure is the /29 subnet, which consists of eight addresses...
