How it works...

We deploy virtual networks to Resource group under Subscription in the Azure data center that we choose. Location and Subscription are important parameters; we will only be able to attach Azure resources to this virtual network if they are in the same subscription and region (as the Azure data center). The Address space option defines the number of IP addresses that will be available for our network. It uses the Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) format and the largest range we can choose is /8. In the portal, we need to create an initial subnet and define the subnet address range. The smallest subnet allowed is /29 and the largest is /8 (however, this can't be larger than the virtual network range).
