Azure Networking
The virtual infrastructure that supports connectivity between resources within a region.
What is an Azure Virtual Network?
Filters internal Azure network traffic based on address and/or protocol.
What is a Network Security Group (NSG)?
The preferred method of connecting two Azure Virtual Networks together over a private infrastructure.
What is VNet Peering?
An Azure networking service takes Layer 4 input traffic and uniformly redistributes it across multiple targets in a backend pool.
What is an Azure Load Balancer?
The way Azure identifies / documents networking address spaces.
What is the Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation?
The natural / physical boundary of an Azure Virtual Network.
What is a Region?
Used to determine the order that NSG rules are evaluated.
What is the NSG priority?
The service that connects Azure Virtual Networks to on-premises networks over the public cloud.
What is a VPN Gateway?
For an Azure Load Balancer, it is the complimentary front end service to a Public Load Balancer.
What is an Internal Load Balancer?
Used to translate friendly URL names into IP addresses.
What is a Domain Name Service (DNS)?
The logical division of an Azure Virtual Network designed to isolate related resources together.
What is an Azure Subnet?
Used to reject malformed requests from the internet.
What is Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection?
The service that connects Azure Virtual Networks to each other over the public cloud.
What is a VPN Gateway?
An Azure networking service takes Layer 7 traffic and redistributes it across multiple targets in a backend pool using site and/or path rules.
What is an Azure Application Gateway?
What is a Heath Probe?
The logical device used to isolate subnets from each other.
What is a Router?
An Azure networking service that uses rules to defend an Azure Virtual Network from the "evil outside" world.
What is an Azure Firewall?
The service used to connect Azure Virtual Networks to an on-premises network over a private infrastructure.
A layer 4 Azure networking service that supports geographic, performance, weighted, and priority routing rules across multiple regions.
What is an Azure Traffic Manager?
The Azure networking service that adds additional http/https protection to Azure Application Gateways and Azure Front Door
What is a Web Application Firewall (WAF)?
The number of IP addresses ALWAYS reserved on an Azure Subnet for internal use.
What are 5 addresses? For extra credit - name the reserved address uses.
The Azure network component that must be defined before an Azure Firewall can be added to an Azure Virtual Network.
What is a Firewall Subnet?
The routing rules used to over-ride the built-in System Defined Route table.
What is a User Defined Route table?
The Azure networking service that is a superset of the capabilities of Azure Application Gateways AND Azure Traffic Managers and includes private networking.
An Azure networking device (like a Firewall) can be used to re-route/re-direct traffic between inside and/or outside networks.
What is a Network Virtual Appliance (NVA)?
