Cloud Networking

Cloud networking is the collection of technologies and practices that enable communications between the virtual instances created within the cloud and communications between the cloud service and external customers and networks.

• Cloud Instances
• Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
• Cloud Gateway
• Cloud Connectivity Options
• Cloud Firewall Security
• Security Groups and Security Lists

Modern Network Environments

A modern network means that services are located in the cloud and can be accessed from diverse locations.

• designed for security and scalability

• greater role for scripted automation

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

• Uses for Infrastructure as Code

• Source Control

• Software-Defined Networking (SDN)

• Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN)

• Overlay Network

• Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)

• Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

• Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
