Deploying Azure Virtual Network

Introduction 

Virtual machines (VMs), or other network related devices can communicate with one another over various office and data center locations thanks to virtual networking. Virtual networking expands these capabilities by using software administration to connect computers and servers over the Internet, as opposed to physical networking, which connects computers using cabling and other hardware. It makes use of virtualized variations of conventional network tools like switches and network adapters to provide easier network configuration changes and more effective routing. 

Devices in numerous places can operate with the same capabilities as a regular physical network thanks to virtual networking. Network administrators now have new, more effective options, such as the ability to quickly change the network as needs change without having to replace or purchase additional hardware, increased flexibility in provisioning the network to specific needs and applications, and the ability to move workloads across the network infrastructure without sacrificing service, security, or availability. 

In this article, we are going to learn how to create a virtual network in Microsoft Azure. 

Create a Virtual Network in Microsoft Azure

Step 1 

Log into Azure Portal using portal.azure.com. 

Step 2

Go to your resource group and click on + Create. 

Step 3

Search for Virtual Network in the Marketplace and click on Create button. 

Step 4

On the virtual network page, click Create. 

Step 5

Select the relevant resource group, enter a name for the virtual network, and select the region. Then click on Next: IP Addresses button. 

Step 6

Remove the current address space and add a new address space as you required. In this article, I have added 192.168.0.0/16. 

Step 7

When we remove the current address space, we will get an error "This virtual network doesn’t have any subnets." click +Add subnet. 

Step 8

In the Add subnet tab, enter the name for your subnet, enter the subnet address range, and click Add. 

Step 9 

Click the Create button to deploy the virtual network.
