Comprehensive Cloud Networking
Azure networking provides a comprehensive set of cloud networking capabilities that span virtual networks, load balancing, traffic management, domain name resolution, private connectivity, and network security. It enables you to build a flexible, scalable, and secure network infrastructure in the cloud.
Leverage Azure's global network backbone to deliver applications and services with high availability and low latency. Whether you're extending your on-premises data center to the cloud or building cloud-native applications, Azure Networking has you covered.
Core Networking Services
Virtual Network (VNet)
Create isolated and secure private networks in Azure. Extend your on-premises networks to Azure and run your datacenters in the cloud.
Load Balancer
Distribute network traffic across multiple virtual machines or services to improve application availability and responsiveness.
VPN Gateway
Securely connect your on-premises networks to Azure VNets over the public internet, providing cost-effective site-to-site connectivity.
Azure DNS
Host your DNS domains in Azure, benefiting from high availability, performance, and security. Manage your domain names programmatically.
ExpressRoute
Establish private, dedicated connections between Azure and your on-premises infrastructure, bypassing the public internet for increased bandwidth and lower latency.
Traffic Manager
Direct end-user traffic intelligently to the most appropriate service endpoint based on various traffic-routing methods.
Network Security
Azure provides a multi-layered approach to network security, ensuring your cloud resources are protected from threats.
Network Security Groups (NSGs)
Filter network traffic to and from Azure resources in an Azure virtual network, acting as a basic firewall.
Azure Firewall
A managed, cloud-native network security service that protects your Azure Virtual WAN and Virtual Network resources.
Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Protects your web applications from common web exploits and vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and more.
DDoS Protection
Mitigate distributed denial of service attacks and protect your Azure resources with advanced, scalable protection.
Performance & Optimization
Ensure your applications run efficiently and deliver a seamless experience to your users worldwide.
Azure CDN
Deliver high-bandwidth content to customers globally, anywhere, anytime with Azure Content Delivery Network.
Application Gateway
A managed load balancer that enables you to manage traffic to your web applications. It provides features like Web Application Firewall (WAF), SSL termination, and cookie-based session affinity.
VNet Peering
Connect Azure virtual networks privately through the Azure backbone network. Allow resources in each virtual network to communicate with each other.
Hybrid & Edge Networking
Seamlessly integrate your on-premises environments with Azure and extend networking capabilities to the edge.
Azure ExpressRoute
Provides dedicated, private connections between your on-premises environment and Azure, enhancing reliability and speed.
Azure Virtual WAN
A networking service that brings together networking, security, and routing capabilities into a single operational interface. It simplifies connectivity for global networks.
Azure IoT Hub Connectivity
Securely connect and manage your IoT devices at scale, enabling robust communication pathways.
