Creating and configuring virtual networks, including peering

In this section, we are going to look at how to create and configure Virtual Networks (VNets) and peering. Let's start with an overview of VNets and IP addressing and how it works within Azure.

A VNet overview

Before we dive into how to configure VNets, let's take a moment to understand what VNets are and what their purpose is. A VNet in Azure is a representation of your network in the cloud that is used to connect resources such as virtual machines and other services to each other.

Unlike traditional networks, which make use of physical cables, switches, and routers to connect resources, VNets are completely software-based. VNets have isolated IP ranges, and resources placed inside a VNet do not talk to the resources in other VNets by default. To allow resources in two different VNets to talk to each other, you would need to connect the VNets using VNet peering.
