Azure Virtual Network (VNet) is a fundamental building block of your Azure infrastructure. It provides a way to create a private, isolated network in the cloud, which you can use to deploy Azure resources such as virtual machines, containers, and web apps. In this article, we'll provide an overview of Azure Virtual Network.

Key Features

  • Isolation: Your VNet is isolated from other Azure customers, ensuring that your network traffic stays within your virtual network.
  • Scalability: You can scale your VNet to accommodate your growing network needs.
  • Security: VNet provides various security features, such as network security groups (NSGs) and VPN gateways, to help secure your network traffic.

How to Create a VNet

To create a VNet, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the Azure portal.
  2. Navigate to "Virtual networks" in the left-hand menu.
  3. Click "Add" to create a new VNet.
  4. Enter the required details, such as the name, address space, and resource group.
  5. Click "Create".

Use Cases

  • Multi-tenant environments: Use VNet to create isolated networks for different tenants within your organization.
  • Hybrid cloud scenarios: Connect your on-premises network to Azure using a VPN gateway.
  • High availability: Deploy resources across multiple availability zones within the same VNet to ensure high availability.
