Azure Networking: The Art of The Possible and the why Series

The purpose of this repository is to deliver layered, reusable, and GitHub-friendly network architecture diagrams for Cloud Solutions Architects to run effective Azure design and skilling sessions. The content is based on real customer and partner design sessions with collaboration from cross-functional architects.

The repository includes tips and tools for effective storytelling that explains the why behind the design options based on requirements and the art of the possible. The design areas include — Azure Networking, Hybrid Connectivity architectures, routing, firewalling, load balancing, multi-region, secure by design, cross-functional networking areas, and AKS networking. The networking complexity is broken down into layers with one diagram per design area using draw.io and now diagrams.net. This repository will include configuration snippets to reduce lab prep. time and the need to leave the labs running for demos.
