AZ-700 covers designing, implementing, and operating Azure networking solutions. It includes virtual networks, hybrid connectivity, routing, load balancing, network security, private access, and monitoring.
AZ-700 is structured around the responsibilities of an Azure Network Engineer. The course scope includes the full lifecycle of Azure networking, from foundational virtual networks to hybrid connectivity, traffic management, security, and monitoring.The course begins with Azure virtual networks, including IP addressing, DNS, routing, peering, and outbound connectivity using Azure Virtual NAT. These topics establish the baseline network architecture used by Azure workloads.Hybrid networking is then addressed through site-to-site and point-to-site VPNs, Azure Virtual WAN, and hub-based designs. This section focuses on connecting Azure to on-premises and remote environments in a controlled and scalable way.ExpressRoute is covered as a dedicated topic, including design considerations, peering options, Global Reach, and performance optimization with Fast Path. Learners also review troubleshooting approaches.Traffic management includes load balancing for non-HTTP(S) workloads using Azure Load Balancer and Traffic Manager, and HTTP(S) workloads using Application Gateway and Azure Front Door. Network security topics include DDoS Protection, Network Security Groups, Azure Firewall, Firewall Manager, and Web Application Firewall.The course also covers private access to Azure services using Private Link and service endpoints, and concludes with network monitoring using Azure Monitor and Network Watcher. Together, these topics align with the AZ-700 exam and real-world network engineering tasks.
AZ-700 is most effective when approached as an architecture course rather than a service checklist. Network engineers should focus on how routing, security, and connectivity decisions interact.Hybrid connectivity and private access are especially important as organizations reduce public exposure of services. Understanding when to use VPN, ExpressRoute, or Private Link is a key skill.Monitoring should be treated as part of the design, not an afterthought. Network visibility enables faster troubleshooting and more reliable operations.

AZ-305 includes designing network infrastructure, business continuity, and migration solutions, supported by case study labs.
AZ-104 focuses on operating Azure environments: identity, governance, networking, storage, and compute. You also cover backup and monitoring so you can run workloads reliably day to day.
AZ-104 covers virtual networks, subnetting, IP addressing, DNS, and security controls such as NSGs and Azure Firewall. It also addresses connectivity options like VNet peering and gateway-based links for Azure and on-premises integration.
