Exploring Azure Networking (VNet)
Like Azure VMs, Azure VNet is another core component of Azure that you should be aware of. A VNet ties all resources, such as VMs, storage accounts, and databases, together securely in a private network. It is used to encapsulate the cloud or on-premises services together within a secure boundary by controlling who can access these services and from which endpoints.
