  Understand networking basics: virtual networks (VNets) and subnets, VNet peering, connecting on-premises with VPN Gateway and ExpressRoute, plus DNS and public/private endpoints.

• 3.3AI Services, Copilot, and Responsible AI

  Understand the Azure AI platform and services (Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI services, AI Search, Content Safety), the Microsoft Copilot family (M365 / Azure / GitHub / Security / Copilot Studio), and the six Responsible AI principles that underpin them.
