 +===== Azure Networking Overview (Webinar: 2021-04-08) ===== 
 + 
 +===== General Notes ===== 
 +  * No IPv6 support. 
 +  * Hub-and-spoke topology is supported. 
 +  * VNet transit (similar to OCI’s VCN transit). 
 + 
 +===== Virtual Hubs ===== 
 +  * Most Azure **networking** relies on **Virtual Hubs**. 
 +    * A virtual hub is essentially a VNet implemented with a group of Windows servers performing routing functions. 
 +    * [[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-wan/about-virtual-hub-routing|External Link]] 
 +  * **Virtual WANs and Hubs**: 
 +    * Traffic traversing virtual hubs incurs charges based on **time**, not traffic volume (to be confirmed). 
 +    * Virtual hubs bind different regions, offering cost efficiency. 
 +    * Functionality is similar to AWS Transit Gateway but with worse performance. 
 + 
 +===== Key Commands ===== 
 +  * **View NIC Route Tables**: 
 +    * Command: `az network nic show-effective-route-table` 
 +    * Example from Webinar (Slide 18): Shows route table for a NIC. 
 + 
 +===== Route Propagation ===== 
 +  * Virtual hubs propagate routes and manage connectivity automatically. 
 +    * Unlike AWS Transit Gateway, which requires manual static route configuration. 
 +  * **Labels** (similar to MPLS Route Targets) can control propagation between route tables (Slide 20). 
 +  * **AS-Prepending** is the only way to influence route preferences (similar to OCI). 
 + 
 +===== Terraform Notes ===== 
 +  * `for_each` only works with dictionaries, not lists. 
 +    * Lists must be converted for usage (Slides 27-28). 
 +  * Terraform code for multiple VRFs
 +    * Forwarding is separated but cannot duplicate IP blocks.
