Week 9 Cloud Computing

  Enhanced User Experience : SSO allows users to log in once and gain access to multiple applications without needing to re-enter credentials. This reduces the frustration of remembering numerous passwords and improves overall user satisfaction. Increased Productivity : Employees can focus more on their core tasks by reducing the time spent logging into different systems, increasing productivity. Improved Security : SSO centralizes authentication, making enforcing strong password policies and multi-factor authentication (MFA) easier. This reduces the risk of weak passwords and enhances overall security. Simplified Management : IT administrators can manage user access and permissions from a single platform, simplifying the process of onboarding and offboarding employees. Reduced IT Costs : With fewer password-related support requests, IT departments can save time and resources, leading to cost ...

Week 6 Cloud Computing

     Key Features of Azure DNS DNS Hosting : Azure DNS allows you to host your DNS domains in Azure. You can manage your DNS records using the same credentials, APIs, tools, and billing as your other Azure services. Public and Private DNS Zones : Public DNS Zones : These are used for hosting domains accessible over the internet. You can manage DNS records for your public domains using Azure DNS. Private DNS Zones : These are used for managing and resolving domain names within your virtual network without configuring a custom DNS solution. This is useful for internal name resolution within your Azure environment. DNS Resolution : Azure DNS provides fast and reliable DNS resolution using a global network of name servers. Anycast networking allows DNS queries to automatically route to the closest name servers for the best possible performance.   DNS Private Resolver : This service enables you to query Azure DNS private zones from an on-premises...
