Raise your hand if you’ve ever blamed the network.

You’re responsible for the health, security, and uptime of your company’s data services in Azure. You’ve provisioned a few services, but every now and then, you run into problems making your services reachable and reliable from different users and app servers.

You want to understand:

  • Your company’s cloud network topology
  • How your services live in that topology
  • What a private link is, and why you probably need it
  • If your services are available publicly or privately (and how to tell the difference)
  • Where to look if someone can’t connect

You’re ready for our latest class, Fundamentals of Azure Networking for the Data Professional. It’s taught by Drew Furgiuele, former Senior Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft, and now a Senior Solutions Architect at Databricks. You might recognize him from his popular Fundamentals of PowerShell class, too!

This is driven by the mark-as-complete buttons in each module of the class. (Let’s be honest: you’re probably just going to mark them as complete because you’re that kind of student. I feel you.)
