Title: Cloud Networking Basics for the DBA

As a DBA, connecting to a database server on-premises is generally straightforward, especially in a company with a network infrastructure team. Over time, they have fine-tuned network configurations, so adding a new server works. Moving to a cloud environment, the network has to be rebuilt from the ground up, as the first servers are being stood up. Unexpected connection problems are bound to occur until the network configuration has been smoothed out. This session will introduce some common challenges of moving to the cloud and how to diagnose network issues. Cloud networking concepts, including virtual networks, VPN/ExpressRoute connections, and network security groups.
Goals: Attendees will have the opportunity to begin to understand how on-premises and cloud networks can work together, providing seamless integration between the two.
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of networking concepts (switches, routers, firewalls, etc.).
