Software Defined Networking (SDN) enables customers to realize and control the network they desire for their workload in the cloud. This includes traditional enterprise network functions like ACLs, firewalls, load balancers, IPS/IDS, DoS protection, that customers want to realize in the network for their VMs in the cloud. All these need to be delivered on a shared, very high speed but low-complexity physical network based on merchant silicon. And that is where the software comes in - all this can be realized and delivered in software by building a virtual network on top of physical network, using the virtualized host as the scale-out engine for all our policies, allowing the underlying physical network to be cheap and extremely fast. Creating a new, software controlled virtualized network, optimized for the cloud, represents a once-in-ten-years technological shift. The entire industry is realizing the SDN vision and jumping into it.As a Software Engineer in SDN, you will be front and center of the two key disruptions happening: cloud and SDN. You will be a part of the overall Microsoft Azure team responsible for building the highly available, robust and large-scale virtual network technology in cloud. You will be stretched to grow in your design and implementation skills as an engineer as you work on a service used by millions of customers every day - a service needing continuous innovation to improve feature offerings, agility, reliability, performance, scale and cost effectiveness.
