Creating a Virtual Network with Azure Cli
Learn about virtual networks in this lesson.
What is a virtual network?
In Azure, virtual networks(VNet) are fundamental networking concepts that allow you to create isolated and secure network environments. Using it, you can logically and physically define IP address ranges, subnets, route tables, network security groups, and connectivity options.
As part of creating a virtual network in Azure, you define an IP address space for the Network and divide it into one or more subnets. In the same VNet, each subnet has its IP address range and is isolated from the rest of the subnets. As a result of this isolation, you can segment your resources and control traffic flow over the Network
Key features of Azure virtual networks
Azure offers a resilient and adaptable networking infrastructure that empowers you to construct intricate network configurations and implement diverse networking scenarios tailored to your needs. Here are some :
IP addressing: Define IP address ranges for virtual networks and assign IP addresses to resources within those networks.
Isolation and segmentation: Azure virtual networks provide logical isolation and segmentation of resources within the Azure cloud. You can create multiple virtual networks to separate different application tiers or departments, ensuring they are isolated.
Private IP addressing: Virtual networks allow you to define private IP address ranges for the resources within the Network. This enables communication between resources using personal IP addresses, keeping traffic within the virtual Network and providing enhanced security.
Subnetting: Within a virtual network, you can define multiple ...
