Creating an Azure Virtual Network with Four Subnets
Hi there! 👋 I'm Daniel Ozoemena, a passionate Cloud Solution Architect and DevOps Engineer dedicated to building scalable, secure, and innovative cloud solutions. With hands-on experience in Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform, I specialize in deploying infrastructure as code, automating workflows, and optimizing system reliability. Driven by a love for problem-solving, I constantly explore new technologies and best practices to deliver impactful results. Beyond the cloud, I enjoy mentoring, blogging about tech insights, and contributing to open-source projects. When I'm not automating deployments or creating secure virtual networks, you can find me playing chess, learning about AI, or brainstorming solutions to real-world challenges. Let’s connect and grow together on this tech journey! 🚀
Step 1: Sign in to Azure Portal
Navigate to Azure Portal and log in with your Azure credentials.
Step 2: Open the Virtual Networks Blade
In the Azure Portal, search for Virtual Networks in the search bar at the top and select it.
Click + Create or + Add.
Step 3: Configure the VNet Basics
In the Basics tab:
Subscription: Select the appropriate subscription.
Resource Group: Choose an existing resource group or create a new one.
Name: Enter the name of the VNet.
Region: Select a region.
Step 4: Add the Address Space
Go to the IP Addresses tab.
Enter 192.148.30.0/26 in the Address Space field.
Step 5: Add Four Subnets
Still, in the IP Addresses tab, locate the Subnets section and click + Add Subnet.
Add the following subnets:
Subnet Name Address
For each subnet:
Provide a name.
Specify the address range.
Save and repeat for all subnets.
Step 6: Review and Deploy
Click on the Review + Create tab.
Confirm the configuration and click Create to deploy the Virtual Network.
Step 7: Validate the Configuration
Navigate to the Virtual Network resource.
Under the Subnets tab, verify that all four subnets are listed correctly.
Conclusion
Creating an Azure Virtual Network with multiple subnets is a foundational step in designing scalable and secure cloud architectures. By segmenting your network into subnets, you can enhance security, improve traffic management, and organize resources more effectively. This setup supports a wide range of workloads, from hosting applications to connecting on-premises systems to the cloud. With Azure's powerful tools, managing and configuring these networks becomes seamless, ensuring a reliable and well-structured environment for your cloud operations.
