Network Architecture/Protocols: Deep understanding of virtual networking (VNETs, VPCs, peering, VPNs, ExpressRoute), hardware-based routing, and connecting disparate, highly secured environments as well as more than two types of networking protocols (QoS, Multicast, BGP, OSPF, VRFs, MPLS (optional), VXLAN/EVPN, IPv6). On-Premise & Hybrid Connectivity: Configure classified on-premise systems to mirror cloud environments, and establish secure, high-speed connections between on-premise infrastructure and cloud providers through transport systems like STREN / SDREN.
