Networking Summary

• Virtual Network
  • A fundamental part of Azure. All services are connected to a VNet. Includes an IP address range and subnets. Belongs to a single region and a single subscription
• Load Balancer
  • Distributes and balances the incoming traffic to an application or network. Uses IP address and port number to determine the receiving VM in the backend pool
• VPN Gateway
  • Connects your Azure network with your on-premises network securely
• Application Gateway
  • Distributes incoming traffic based on HTTP request properties, such as URL and host headers. Same session traffic can be handled by multiple servers
• ExpressRoute
  • Direct link between on-premises and Azure . Enables a private, secure, high-bandwidth, low-latency connection
• Content Delivery Network
  • Stores a cached version of your application on an edge node. Provides better performance and less traffic to your main server. Content cache is updated as necessary
