In this lab, you’ll learn how to create and configure a Virtual Network (vNet) and Subnet in Microsoft Azure.

Virtual networks are essential for organizing and managing network traffic within the Azure environment, and subnets allow you to segment your vNet for better control over resource communication. This lab walks you through the process of creating a new vNet, configuring address spaces, and setting up subnets to meet the needs of different applications. You’ll also apply network security features like encryption and use tags to categorize your vNet.

This brief video explains what you’ll deploy, why it matters, and what steps you’ll take. Estimated watch time: 2 minutes 41 seconds
