Create and Configure Virtual Network and Subnets in Azure

Azure Virtual Networks (VNets) allow you to create isolated, secure, and scalable networks in the cloud. Subnets help segment a VNet into smaller sections for better traffic control and resource management. In this lab, you will learn how to create a Virtual Network, define subnets, and understand how IP address ranges work in Azure.

By understanding how VNets and subnets function, you can better design secure and efficient cloud environments. This lab provides a hands-on introduction to Azure networking, helping you grasp the fundamentals of IP address spaces, subnetting, and network segmentation.

Objectives

Upon completion of this beginner-level lab, you will be able to:

• Create a Virtual Network (VNet) in Azure
• Define subnets within the VNet
• Understand CIDR notation and how IP ranges work
• View and verify the IP address space and subnets in the Azure Portal

Who is this lab for?

This lab is designed for:

• Developers who want to understand Azure networking basics
• IT professionals looking to manage cloud-based networks
• Cloud engineers setting up secure and scalable VNets
• Individuals preparing for Azure certifications such as AZ-104 (Azure Administrator Associate)
