Configuring Azure Virtual Network

Azure Virtual Network (VNet) allows users to create a private network in Azure for securely running applications and virtual machines. It enables isolation, linking with other networks, segmentation into subnets, and communication between Azure resources while providing traffic filtering options. The document outlines the steps to set up a VNet, including creating a resource group, defining IP address ranges, and deploying the network.

AZURE VIRTUAL NETWORK (VNet)

Azure virtual network (VNet) is a service that allows users to create a


private network in Azure to securely run applications and virtual
machines in the cloud.
In other words, VNet provides foundation for deploying and connecting
various Azure resources such as virtual machines,databases, and web
apps.
WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH AZURE VIRTUAL NETWORK?
 You can provide an isolated environment for your applications.
 You can link virtual networks with other virtual networks in Azure or
even with on-premises networks.
 You can segment virtual networks into subnets.
 You can communicate between different Azure resources such as
Azure storage accounts and Azure SQL database.
 You can filter network traffics using Network Security Groups (NSGs).
NSGs can be used to allow or deny traffic to a subnet or a network
interface.
HOW TO SET UP AN AZURE VIRTUAL NETWORK.
1. LOG IN TO THE AZURE PORTAL: You can access the Azure portal
using “portal.azure.com”.
2. CREATE A RESOURCE GROUP: A resource group is a container that
can be used to hold related Azure resources.
 In the search bar, type “Resource group” and click resource group in
the marketplace to create a new resource group.
 Give your resource group a name, select a subscription and also
select a region.
 Click “Review and create”, your resource group will be created.

3. CREATE A VIRTUAL NETWORK:


 In the search bar, type “Virtual network” and select virtual network
in marketplace to create a new one.
 Click “Create”.

 Select a subscription for your virtual network.


 Provide a name for your VNet.
 Select the resource group you created earlier.
 Select the Azure region that you want to create the VNet. Click Next.
 You can enhance the security of your virtual network by selecting
any of these security options, but in this guide, I’ll not be using any of
these, so I’ll just go “next” again.
4. SELECT AN IP ADDRESS RANGE AND CREATE SUBNETS: Subnets are
smaller divisions of your network that allows you to further segment
your network.
 Select an IP address range for your VNet.

 Click “ADD A SUBNET” to add one or more subnets to your network.


 Give your subnet a “Name”, you can also confirm the IPV4 address
space.
 Give a “Starting address” to your subnet.
 Select the “Size” of your subnet and a subnet address range will be
provided for your subnet.
 Click “Add”.
5. REVIEW AND CREATE: Review the settings and click “Create” to
deploy your VNet. Once the deployment is complete, click “Go to
resource” to see and explore the newly created VNet.

By following these steps, you have successfully created a secure and


isolated network environment for your Azure resources.
