Step-By-Step Demo of Creating Azure Virtual Machine And Virtual Network
Step 1: Navigate to your Azure portal.
Step 2: Click on the Create resource option. You will be listed with different resources that can be deployed on Azure.
Step 3: Type in a virtual network in the search bar. Click on Create option.
Step 4: You will be prompted to fill in details about the virtual network we wish to create.
Step 5: In the basics, tab fill in the required details
- Subscription: The subscription in which you wish to create the virtual network.
- Resource Group: Choose the resource group where you wish to create the virtual network. You can create a new resource by clicking on create a new option.
- Name: Enter the name of your virtual network.
- Region: Choose the region for your virtual network.
Step 6: Click on the Next: IP Addresses button. In the IP Addresses tab enter the following details
- IPv4 address space: Enter the IPV4 address range in CIDR notation (e.g. 192.208.9.0/32).
- Subnet: Create a subnet for your virtual network. There should be at least one subnet.
Step 7: Click on ‘Next ‘: Security tab and choose the security settings you wish for your virtual network.
Step 8: Click on the review + create option. Wait for all the validations to pass.
Step 9: Click on create option to create your virtual network.
This is how we can create an Azure virtual network. It serves as the fundamental building block for our private network in Azure. The virtual network is similar to a traditional network that we operate in our data centers with additional benefits of cloud infrastructure like scalability, isolation, and availability.
Azure IP addressing is critical in ensuring that all the resources are accessible. Private IP addresses are used to communicate between resources in Azure while public IP addresses are used to access Azure resources directly through the internet.
Microsoft Azure – Virtual Network
Pre-requisite: Azure
Whenever an organization moves from on-premises to a cloud-like Azure, they require the same networking functionality as they had in on-premises deployment with some level of network isolation. Azure provides different networking components to carry out these functionalities and services. One of them is the Azure virtual network (VNet).
