Episode 81: Cloud Connectivity — VPN and Private Links

20 Jul 2025

Description

This episode explains how organizations connect securely to cloud environments using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and private links. VPNs extend encrypted tunnels over the Internet, providing secure access to cloud resources. Private links, such as AWS Direct Connect or Azure ExpressRoute, establish dedicated circuits between on-premises networks and cloud providers, offering higher reliability and lower latency. The exam highlights these methods because secure, consistent connectivity is critical for hybrid and cloud-first deployments.Practical considerations include when to use VPNs for flexible, cost-effective access, versus private links for predictable performance in large-scale environments. Troubleshooting scenarios include diagnosing misconfigured VPN tunnels, expired certificates, or connectivity issues with service provider links. Understanding these connectivity options ensures you can answer exam questions and evaluate which method best fits an organization’s requirements. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber audio courses, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
