Last updated on Jan 20, 20212795Earlier, while developing and deploying software applications, companies had been facing common issues like network attacks, data leaks, poor network connectivity, time-consuming processes in building network topologies, and inadequate diversion of network traffic.
With this going on, Microsoft saved the day, right on time Microsoft Azure addressed these issues and launched Azure Virtual Network, which helped companies communicate securely with other networks and maintain a cost-efficient cloud environment. Thus, adding another feather to Microsoft’s hat.
This article will help you understand the concept of how to secure your application using Azure VNet.
In this article, we will be looking at the following topics:
Some of the major advantages of using Microsoft Azure VNet are as follows:
Moving on, let have a look at the components of Azure VNet.
Azure networking components provide a wide range of functionalities that can help companies build efficient cloud applications that meet their requirements.
The components of Azure Networking are listed below, and we have explained each of these components in a detailed manner:
Moving forward, we will see a demonstration on creating an Azure virtual machine and virtual network step-by-step.
Step 1 − First, log into your Azure Management Portal, select 'New' at the bottom left corner.
Step 2 − Next, on the Network Services go to Virtual Network -> Quick create.
Step 3 - Now, enter the name and leave all other fields empty and click 'next'.
Step 4 − Finally, click on 'Create a Virtual Network,' and it is done.
Note: Now, in the same VNet, create a Virtual machine
Step 5 - First, select ‘create’ to build a new Virtual Machine with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.
Step 6 - Once the fields are entered, select the existing resource group that you had created for the virtual network and select OK.
Step 7 - Now, choose a desired size and configuration by selecting DS1_V2 Standard type
Note: By default, we would choose a Virtual Network.
Step 8 - Now select the subnet as FrontEndSubnet and do not change the public IP address. Also, keep the Network Security Group as none.
Step 9 - Create a new availability set and set a new name to it.
Next, set the fault domains as 2 and then disable the Guest OS Diagnosis section.
Step 10 - Finally, click and select ‘create’.
Congratulations, you have successfully created a VM.
This is all the basic information you need to know about Microsoft Azure Virtual Network.
