Azure Networking with Hub and Spoke Hackathon

Course Description

In this hack students will engage into an increasingly complex Azure Virtual Network setup, finding many of the challenges that often appear in production environments. The Hack starts with a deep dive in hub and spoke networking and user-defined routes during the first day and goes on by adding components such as the Azure Application Gateway or PaaS networking in the second day.

Learning Objectives

After completing this hack, participants will be familiar with these concepts, amongst others:

VNet peering
User Defined Routes and hybrid connectivity
Scenarios with potential asymmetric routing
Azure Firewall DNAT (Destination Network Address Translation) rules
Azure Firewall network and application rules
Designs combining the Azure Firewall and the Application Gateway
PaaS Networking options such as Vnet service endpoints and Private Link
