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:
