Introduction

In modern cloud environments, controlling how network traffic flows is just as important as securing the workloads themselves. In this guide, we’ll configure custom network routing in Azure by creating route tables, associating them with subnets, and directing outbound traffic through an Azure Firewall for centralized inspection and filtering. This hands-on exercise demonstrates practical cloud networking and security skills that are essential for designing secure, enterprise-grade Azure infrastructures.

Scenario

To ensure the firewall policies are enforced, outbound application traffic must be routed through the firewall. You identify these requirements.

A route table is required. This route table will be associated with the frontend and backend subnets.
