Introduction to Networking on Azure

​Cloud networking is the foundation of every Azure deployment, yet it is often one of the most misunderstood areas for beginners. In this introductory session, we will break down Azure networking concepts into simple, practical building blocks that anyone can understand.

Participants will learn how Azure Virtual Networks (VNets) connect resources securely, how subnets are used to segment workloads, and how services such as Network Security Groups (NSGs), Public IPs, Load Balancers, and VPN Gateways enable secure communication between applications, users, and on-premises environments.

Using live demonstrations in the Azure portal, we will create a basic network architecture from scratch and trace how traffic flows through the environment. The session is designed for students, aspiring cloud engineers, developers, and IT professionals who want a solid foundation before moving into advanced Azure networking topics or certification paths such as AZ-900 and AZ-104.
