In this lesson, you will learn about key Azure networking skills essential for deploying and managing resources securely and efficiently. Each year, more companies are backing up and/or migrating servers into the cloud. In the past, the steps to set up a network, integrate it with applications, add security, and monitor the server were arduous and manual, including having to set up hardware, wiring, and software. Today, cloud products such as Azure offer a single software solution to perform all these duties, including a built-in monitoring solution to keep servers working, updated, and as secure as possible. Lastly, because Azure is a cloud product, the servers can be managed from anywhere in the world, 24/7.
