Create a Virtual Network
Create a Virtual Network using Azure CLI and the following settings:
- Virtual Network
Resource Group: Existing resource group
Name: test1vnet
Address prefix: 10.0.0.0/16
Subnet name: subnet1 Subnet prefix: 10.0.1.0/24
Use the below instructions as a guide (refer to the video for complete steps):
Note: The resource group has already been created for you.
- Login to the Azure Portal using the credentials provided
- Navigate to the Cloud Shell, using the
>_icon in the toolbar - Ensure you are using Bash for the Azure CLI
- Identify the existing Resource Group:
az group list - Create the Virtual Network:
az network vnet create - Create a Subnet:
az network vnet subnet create

az loginis not required when using Cloud Shell within the Azure Portal, as the session authenticates as the user you are logged in as. You will need to use this command if connecting to Azure using Azure CLI on your own machine. - Virtual Network
