Introduction
VPN (Virtual Private Network) extends a private network across the public network to allow users to send and/or receive data to a private network over a public network. A VPN is created by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated circuits or with tunneling protocols over existing networks.
Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform operated by Microsoft for application management via data centers managed by Microsoft. It is generally known as Azure. Azure provides SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service).
