Last month (July) Microsoft held its annual Parter Conference in Las Vegas USA, and as expected
there was a lot of news of Azure, Office 365, Intelligent Cloud etc.

With this Article we are focusing on AZURE – So Lets Begin !!

First there is a new option called Azure Firewall :

Essentially it is a network security service that protects your Azure Virtual Network resources. It’s fully stateful and runs as a service with built-in high availability and cloud scalability.

You can limit outbound HTTP/S traffic to a specified list of fully qualified domain names.

All events are integrated with Azure Monitor, allowing you to archive logs to a storage account, stream events to your Event Hub, or send them to the Analytics repository.
