Creating Azure VNet

Creating an Azure VNet is a pretty straightforward process. To do this task, follow these steps:

  1. Open the ARM portal and log in using the account associated with your Azure subscription.
  1. Once logged in, navigate to More services, and search for virtual network, as shown in the following screenshot:
Figure 1.4: Searching for virtual networks blade
  1. You will be navigated to a new blade, wherein you can display the virtual networks you have created, and you can also create new virtual networks, as shown in the following screenshot:
Figure 1.5: Virtual networks blade
  1. Click on Add, and a new blade will be opened for which you have to fill the following fields:
    • Name: The name of the virtual network.
    • Address space: The virtual network's address range in CIDR notion.
    • Subscription: If you have multiple subscriptions associated to the account you have logged in with, you have to specify which subscription will be charged for this service.
    • Resource group: Specify whether you want to create a new resource group for the resource you are creating, or use an existing one.
    • Location: The region on which this virtual network will operate.
    • Subnet-name: The name of the first subnet in the virtual network you are creating.
    • Subnet | Address range: The subnet's address range in CIDR notion. It must be contained by the address space of the virtual network.
    • Service endpoints (Preview): It can be used in securing your traffic between some Azure services in Microsoft's backbone network. More information about it will be covered in Chapter 2Delving into Azure Virtual Networks:
