What is a Virtual Network (Vnet) in Azure?

Let’s say we have two resources, such as two virtual machines. Because virtual machines represent the physical hardware on the cloud, they also need to be placed into a representation of the physical network infrastructure. This representation of a physical network infrastructure in Azure is called an Azure Virtual Network.

• Azure Virtual Network allows its customers to create, manage, monitor, and secure connectivity between Azure resources and their on-premise environments.
• Virtual networks can be segmented into smaller pieces called subnets. The main purpose of having subnets is:
  • They allow customers to manage their IP address allocation efficiently.
  • With the help of subnets, we can group the resources so that it is easy to apply the filters and security rules between the multiple resources within the same subnet.

Microsoft Azure provides various resources and services to provide us with a scalable environment for development and testing processes. Azure provides a virtual machine service, which allows us to leverage the resources virtually. We may have more than one virtual machine as a resource, according to our requirements. To manage and monitor our virtual machines, Microsoft Azure provides a service called Virtual Network. In this article, let us discuss how to create a virtual network in Azure using PowerShell. Before diving into the topic, let us briefly overview the Virtual Network (Vnet) and PowerShell.
