Anatomy of a VNet infrastructure
Before starting with the detailed analysis of the topic, in this section of the chapter, I would like to introduce you to the typical anatomy of a VNet infrastructure. You will get to know the individual components of a VNet and their respective relationships to each other or to the public space. By acquiring this basic knowledge, you will then easily understand the subsequent sections of the chapter. Let's take a look at the following diagram:
In the illustration, you can see a simple representation of an Azure VNet in the example of VNet support for Azure VMs.
Note that this example is generally valid, as the VNet support for most other Azure resources are also technologically based on the network capabilities of an Azure VM.
Note
Azure resources currently supported by the Azure VNet:
- Azure Linux or Windows VMs
- Azure VM scale sets
- Azure Cloud Services
- Azure Service Fabric
- Azure Container Service
- Azure HDInsight
- Azure App Service (coming soon)
- Azure App Service environment...
