Became the first tilted person as a "Solutions Architect" in which I became known as constantly setting the bar as a leader for architectural solutions of the organization. Authored 450+ implementation plans and 250+ Solution Documents. Though Identity Management was my forte, I expanded my innovative experience through exploration of various technologies through proof-of-concepts, keeping up with trends and by continuous collaboration with specialized cross-domain teams.

The hub is a virtual network in Azure that acts as a central point of connectivity to your on-premises network. The spokes are virtual networks that peer with the hub and can be used to isolate workloads. Traffic flows between the on-premises data center(s) and the hub through an ExpressRoute or VPN gateway connection.

The hub and spoke topology is a network design where we have a central device (the hub) that is connected to multiple other devices (the spokes). This is a cost effective solution except the hub is a single point of failure. One example of where we can use a hub and spoke topology is in a frame-relay network.

the fundamental building block for your private network in Azure

A virtual network enables many types of Azure resources, such as Azure Virtual Machines (VM), to securely communicate with each other, the internet, and on-premises networks.

A virtual network (VNet) allows you to specify an IP address range for the VNet, add subnets, associate network security groups, and configure route tables. 

A subnet is a range of IP addresses in your VNet

. You can launch Azure resources into a specified subnet.

IT Checklist Process Flow

An Architectural Decision must be made to determine the appropriate method to protect data when it is being transmitted. The most common options available are Virtual Private Networks (VPN) or a SSL/TLS model commonly used by web applications. The selected model is determined by the business needs of the particular organization. 

For example, a VPN connection may be the best design for a partnership between two companies that includes mutual access to a shared server over a variety of protocols. Conversely, an Internet facing enterprise web application would likely be best served by a SSL/TLS model.

 can be used to create secure connections to a server via the Internet. A certificate is essential in order to circumvent a malicious party which happens to be on the route to a target server which acts as if it were the target. Such a scenario is commonly referred to as a man-in-the-middle attack. The client uses the CA certificate to authenticate the CA signature on the server certificate, as part of the authorizations before launching a secure connection.

The format of these certificates is specified by the
