Summary

In this chapter, we have examined the world of networking in Azure. We have reviewed several standard design patterns used when configuring and provisioning networking components, a list of many different Azure cloud networking services that are currently available, and a collection of common problem spaces that you may encounter when designing networks in the wild.

You’ve learned about core components such as virtual networks, subnets, and gateways. You’ve seen how the OSI model’s representation of application communication can be applied to various available network services and when that can help drive decisions on when to use certain services. These decisions on what to use can be combined with those common problem spaces to ultimately provide a solution that will meet the needs of a business or organization.

In Chapter 5, we will cover cloud architecture design patterns, including patterns for serverless components, virtual machines, container...
