Azure Virtual Network
Microsoft
Azure Virtual Network gives you an isolated and highly-secure environment to run your virtual machines and applications. Use your private IP addresses and define subnets, access control policies, and more. Use Virtual Network to treat Azure the same as you would your own datacenter. Traffic between Azure resources in a single region, or in multiple regions, stays in the Azure network—intra-Azure traffic doesn’t flow over the Internet. In Azure, traffic for virtual machine-to-virtual machine, storage, and SQL communication only traverses the Azure network, regardless of the source and destination Azure region. Inter-region virtual network-to-virtual network traffic also flows entirely across the Azure network. Use Virtual Network to extend your on-premises IT environment into the cloud, like you set up and connect to a remote branch office. You have options to securely connect to a virtual network—choose an IPsec VPN or a private connection by using Azure ExpressRoute.Starting Price: $0.01 per GB -

As strain increases on a website or business application, eventually, a single server cannot support the full workload. To meet demand, organizations spread the workload over multiple servers called "load balancing", this practice prevents a single server from becoming overworked, which could cause it to slow down, drop requests, and even crash. Load balancing lets you evenly distribute network traffic to prevent failure caused by overloading a particular resource. This strategy improves the performance and availability of applications, websites, databases, and other computing resources. It also helps process user requests quickly and accurately. From a user perspective, load balancing acts as an invisible facilitator that sits between a client and a group of servers, ensuring connection requests don’t get lost. Without load balancing, applications, websites, databases, and online services would likely fail when demand gets too high.

With built-in high availability using software-defined networking, you can easily configure, scale, and deploy outbound connectivity for dynamic workloads with NAT Gateway. Start securely connecting outbound to the internet with enterprise-grade performance and low latency by deploying a NAT (network address translation) gateway resource. With just a few clicks of a button, assign your NAT gateway to subnets within a single virtual network and static public IP addresses. NAT Gateway assumes the default route to the internet once configured to a subnet, with no traffic routing configurations required.Starting Price: $0.045 per hour -

Azure Route Server
Microsoft
Azure Route Server enables network appliances to exchange route information with Azure virtual networks dynamically. Configure your network appliances and Azure ExpressRoute and VPN gateways to automatically take the latest route information from Azure Route Server instead of manually talking to each network. Use Azure Route Server to enable dynamic routing between your network appliances and gateways in Azure, instead of using static routing. Azure Route Server provides Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) endpoints using standard routing protocol to exchange routes. Easily use Azure Route Server with existing deployments or new deployments with support for any network topology, such as hub and spoke, full mesh, or flat virtual network.Starting Price: $0.45 per hour -

Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager
Microsoft
Easily handle multicluster scenarios for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters such as workload propagation, north-south load balancing (for traffic flowing into member clusters), and upgrade orchestration across multiple clusters. Fleet cluster enables centralized management of all your clusters at scale. The managed hub cluster takes care of the upgrades and Kubernetes cluster configuration for you. Kubernetes configuration propagation lets you use policies and overrides to disseminate objects across fleet member clusters. North-south load balancer orchestrates traffic flow across workloads deployed in multiple member clusters of the fleet. Group any combination of your Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters to simplify multi-cluster workflows like Kubernetes configuration propagation and multi-cluster networking. Fleet requires a hub Kubernetes cluster to store configurations for placement policy and multicluster networking.Starting Price: $0.10 per cluster per hour -
