Integrating networks (hybrid and multicloud)

- [Instructor] Hybrid and multicloud networking is basically integrating on-premise networks, such as those deployed by most companies, with public cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft, and Google. They're used to create a unified distributed network infrastructure so that applications and data stores can more easily communicate. Examples include a private cloud is connected to two public clouds, an on-premise system connected with a public cloud, a mobile computing system connected with three public clouds. Some of the networking approaches that come into play include VPNs, SDNs, VPCs, as well as load balancing and traffic management. Since we've already covered VPNs, SDNs, and VPCs, let's focus on load balancing and traffic management. Load balancers and traffic management systems make sure that network traffic is efficiently distributed, thus no single resource is overloaded. This means across both systems and cloud resources, the objective is to optimize performance as well as…
