Hybrid Cloud Networking — AWS & Azure for Network Engineers

About the Course

Bridge your on-premises network expertise to cloud environments with this practical hybrid networking course. Designed specifically for network engineers — not developers — this course covers AWS VPC design, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, Azure Virtual Network, VNet Peering, ExpressRoute, and how to extend SD-WAN fabrics into multi-cloud environments. No prior cloud experience needed; all concepts are mapped to familiar networking analogies.

You Will be Able to know:

By the end of this course, you will have production-ready skills in Hybrid Cloud Networking. You will be confident designing, deploying, and troubleshooting real-world enterprise network environments.

• Design AWS VPCs with subnets, route tables, security groups, and NACLs from a networking lens

• Connect on-prem data centers to AWS and Azure using Direct Connect and ExpressRoute

• Build multi-region cloud connectivity using AWS Transit Gateway and Azure Virtual WAN

• Extend Cisco SD-WAN into AWS and Azure using cloud-hosted WAN Edge instances

• Apply consistent security policy across hybrid environments using cloud-native and NGFW tools

Prerequisite:

• Solid understanding of IP routing, subnetting, and firewall/NAT concepts

• Familiarity with enterprise WAN architectures (MPLS, SD-WAN) is helpful

• No prior AWS or Azure experience required — concepts are taught from scratch
