Azure Virtual Network

Virtual Network

Create a logically isolated network on Azure cloud. Allows to securely connect it to on-premises data centers or a single machine using an IPsec connection.

Does not cost anything
Extend data center in the cloud
Build distributed applications
Remotely debug applications

Create Virtual Netowrk

Need to add to a subscription, resource group assign a name, and region
virtual network has a range of IP address, we need to specify a fixed range of IP address using CIDR notations.
Virtual networks required a minimum of one subnet. a subnet is a division inside the IP address range.

Virtual network to virtual network connection

Devices connected to one virtual network will not be able to connect with devices in another virtual network. There is no vnet to vnet connection by default.
Communication can be possible via a network gateway. network gateway is a site-to-site VPN. It is a virtual device. It encrypts the traffic between vnets through a tunnel.
Create a virtual network gateway

Choose a subscription, region, gateway type (VPN| ExpressRoute), VPN type (route based | policy-based), sku, vnet, choose public IP address.
Creation on virtual network gateways takes up to 45-60 min.
Each virtual network will need a separate Virtual Network Gateway.

Establish site to site connection between vnets

Go to virtual network gateway --> Settings --> Connections --> Add
Assign name, vnet 1 & vnet 2, IKE protocol (IKEv1 | IKEv2)
shared key: used to establish encryption for the connection. Should be the same on both virtual networks.

Pricing: based on the amount of time the gateway is provisioned and avaialable. data transfer inbound is free, outbound data transfer is chargable.

Virtual Network peering

Go to virtual network --> Settings --> Peerings --> Add
Assign name, subscription, another vnet for peering, traffic direction, and forwarding
Peering is suitable for the cloud to cloud vnet connection.
Charged only for outbound data transfer.
Enable traffic farwording
Save the cost of network gateway
Quick and easy
