Implementing Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies: AZ-303 Exam Prep and Beyond - Second Edition

By: Brett Hargreaves, Sjoukje Zaal

Overview of this book

From designing solutions on Azure to configuring and managing virtual networks, the AZ-303 certification validates your knowledge and skills for all this and much more. Whether you want to take the certification exam or gain hands-on experience in administering, developing, and architecting Azure solutions, this study guide will help you get started. Divided into four modules, this book systematically takes you through the wide range of concepts and features covered in the AZ-303 exam. The first module demonstrates how to implement and monitor infrastructure. You'll develop the skills required to deploy and manage core Azure components such as virtual machines, networking, storage, and Active Directory (AD). As you progress, you'll build on that knowledge and learn how to create resilient and secure applications before moving on to working with web apps, functions, and containers. The final module will get you up to speed with data platforms such as SQL and Cosmos DB, including how to configure the different high availability options. Finally, you'll solve mock tests and assess yourself with the answers provided to get ready to take the exam with confidence. By the end of this book, you'll have learned the concepts and techniques you need to know to prepare for the AZ-303 exam and design effective solutions on Microsoft Azure.

Chapter 4: Implementing and Managing Virtual Networking

In the previous chapter, we covered the third part of the Implement and Monitor Azure Infrastructure objective. We covered virtual machines (VMs) in Azure, as well as the different VM sizes that are available for both Azure and Linux. We also learned how to provision VMs and how to create and deploy Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates.

This chapter introduces the fourth part of this objective. In this chapter, we are going to focus on implementing and managing virtual networking in Azure. You will learn about the basics of Azure virtual networking, including private and public IP addresses, and learn how to configure subnets, Virtual Networks (VNets), and public and private IP addresses.

Many Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) components in Azure, such as virtual machines, use VNets, and many Platform as a Service (PaaS) components enable VNet integration to provide more secure communications. It is therefore important...
