Azure Mental Models
Azure becomes easier to understand when you first see where it places identity, ownership, policy, networking, deployment, and operations. This part builds that map before asking you to choose services.
What You Will Learn
Explain Azure as an operating model rather than a product catalog.
Navigate tenants, management groups, subscriptions, resource groups, and resources.
Design governance through access, policy, ownership, cost, and protection.
Trace network paths across virtual, hybrid, public, and private boundaries.
Chapters
Azure Overview — establish the responsibility model and Azure hierarchy.
Azure Governance — turn hierarchy into guardrails, ownership, and evidence.
Azure Networking — design addressing, segmentation, routing, connectivity, and private access.
How the Chapters Connect
The overview supplies the map, governance shows how organizations control that map, and networking explains how workloads communicate within it.
