Description

Azure Virtual Network (VNet), is the core component of Azure infrastructure that Information Technology (IT) professionals and developers use to build, deploy and manage their applications.

Understanding the networking in the cloud is critical since it is the backbone of any cloud infrastructure. VNet provides similar functionality and feature as traditional network appliances on-premises. However, it includes various additional features in Azure, such as scalability, availability, and network isolation. It also allows you to establish communication with security and monitoring appliances to capture data.
