Just like traditional networking concepts, the virtual network or "VNET" can then further be divided into segments called subnets, where resources such as Windows virtual machines are assigned to a designated space. Azure resources inside the same VNET are typically allowed to communicate with each other. Resources are also to able communicate with other PaaS services outside of the VNET, such as Azure App Service or Azure Cosmos DB, using service endpoints.
