Networking
Azure networking is the process of connecting various components of an Azure infrastructure. It allows Azure resources, such as virtual machines, to be connected to each other and to the internet. Azure networking enables communication between virtual machines, allows access to the internet, and provides a secure platform for the deployment of applications.
Azure Networking provides a secure and reliable platform for the deployment of applications in the cloud. It allows you to easily connect resources and services and provides a variety of features to help ensure the security and reliability of your applications.
Azure Networking is made up of several Components
- Virtual Networks: Virtual networks allow you to create isolated networks in the cloud. They can be used to connect Azure resources to each other or to on-premise networks. Virtual networks can be configured with a variety of settings, such as IP addresses, subnets, and access control lists.
- Network Security Groups: Network security groups are used to establish security rules for inbound and outbound traffic. They can be used to restrict access to certain ports or IP addresses or to apply different security rules for different types of traffic.
- Load Balancers: Load balancers are used to distribute traffic among multiple servers. They can be used to ensure that traffic is evenly distributed across servers, and can also be used to ensure that requests are sent to the most appropriate server.
- ExpressRoute: ExpressRoute is a private connection to Azure. It allows you to establish a secure connection to Azure without having to use the public internet.
- Azure DNS: Azure DNS is used to provide DNS services for Azure resources. It allows Azure resources to be resolved by a DNS server, which makes it easier to access them from the internet.
What is Azure Compute Services?
Pre-requisite: Azure
Azure Compute Services are the core set of cloud computing services that allow you to deploy and manage workloads on Microsoft Azure. These services provide the infrastructure, tools, and platforms for computing and storage needs. Compute services are the building blocks of any cloud solution, providing the underlying technology that enables your applications and workloads to run in the cloud.
Compute services leverage the power of Microsoft Azure to bring you scalable, secure, reliable and cost-effective cloud computing. Microsoft Azure Compute services provide the infrastructure, tools, and platforms needed to create, deploy, and manage cloud computing solutions. Compute services allow you to quickly and securely deploy workloads in the cloud and provide the scalability and reliability needed for applications and services.
Here are a few of the more well-known services
- Azure Virtual Machines
- Azure Container Instances
- Azure App Service
- Azure Functions (or server-less computing)
- Networking
- Database services
