Azure Cloud - Virtual Network (6)

Azure Virtual Network (VNet) is the fundamental building block for private network space within Microsoft Azure. VNet enables many types of Azure resources to communicate securely with each other, the internet, and on-premises networks.

Key components and features of Azure Virtual Network include:

• Isolation and Segmentation: VNets provide logical isolation of Azure resources, ensuring security and control over network traffic.

• Subnets: VNets can be divided into subnets, allowing for better segmentation of the network and organization of resources.

• Network Security Groups (NSGs): Used to control inbound and outbound traffic to network interfaces, VMs, and subnets.

• Route Tables: Custom routes can be created to control the flow of traffic within the network and to/from external networks.

• DNS: Custom DNS settings can be configured for name resolution within the VNet.

• Peering: VNet peering allows VNets to connect seamlessly, enabling resources in different VNets to communicate with low latency.

• VPN Gateway: Establishes secure cross-premises connectivity between the VNet and on-premises networks.

• ExpressRoute: Provides a dedicated, private connection between the VNet and on-premises networks or other cloud providers.

• Azure Bastion: A fully managed service that provides secure RDP and SSH access to VMs in the VNet without exposing them to the internet.

• Load Balancers: Distribute incoming traffic across multiple VMs in the VNet for high availability and reliability.

• Application Gateway: A web traffic load balancer with built-in application firewall capabilities.

Integrating Azure Virtual Network with SymphonyAI Service Automation enhances network management by automating processes, improving monitoring, and streamlining workflows. This integration helps automate routine tasks, improve monitoring and alerting, enforce compliance, and streamline workflows, ultimately leading to better management of network resources and enhanced operational efficiency.
