Prepare for Microsoft Exam AZ-104 and demonstrate your real-world mastery and knowledge of Microsoft Azure administration. Designed for working Azure administrators, this Exam Ref focuses on the critical thinking and decision-making acumen needed for success at the Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate level.

Some books take a very low-level approach, teaching you how to use individual classes and accomplish fine-grained tasks. Like the Microsoft AZ-104 certification exam, this book takes a high-level approach, building on your foundational knowledge of Microsoft Azure and common administrative actions to take in an Azure environment. We provide walk-throughs using the Azure portal; however, the exam might also include questions that use PowerShell or the Azure Command Line Interface (CLI) to perform the same task. You might encounter questions on the exam focused on these additional areas that are not specifically included in this Exam Ref.

This book covers every major topic area found on the exam, but it does not cover every exam question. Only the Microsoft exam team has access to the exam questions, and Microsoft regularly adds new questions to the exam, making it impossible to cover specific questions. You should consider this book a supplement to your relevant real-world experience and other study materials. If you encounter a topic in this book that you do not feel completely comfortable with, use the “Need more review?” links you’ll find in the text to find more information and take the time to research and study the topic.

An Azure virtual network (or VNet) provides the foundation of the Azure networking infrastructure. Virtual machines are connected to virtual networks. This connection provides inbound and outbound connectivity to other virtual machines, to on-premises networks, and to the internet. Azure provides many networking features that will be familiar to those already experienced in networking, such as the abilities to control which network flows are permitted and to control network routing. These features allow Azure deployments to implement familiar network architectures, such as network segmentation between layers of an N-tier application.
