Lab Overview

In this lab, you will learn how to create and configure a Network Security Group (NSG) within the Azure portal. Network Security Groups are critical components in Azure that help you control inbound and outbound network traffic to your resources.

By setting up rules in an NSG, you can define which traffic is allowed or denied based on factors such as the source, destination, and protocol.

This hands-on lab will guide you step-by-step through the process of creating a new NSG, defining security rules, and associating the NSG with a subnet in a virtual network.

By the end of this lab, you will have a fully functional NSG that controls traffic for a specified subnet in your virtual network.
