Your company has a lot of redundant services (DNS, AD, intrusion detection, etc.) in their environment. To alleviate the management effort in maintaining those services, your IT department is centralizing all redundant services into a hub. You will implement a hub-spoke topology, creating a hub VNet and a spoke VNet connection in Azure.
