About this Hands-on Lab

Virtual networks (VNets) are the foundation of your private network on Azure. In this lab, you will create a virtual network and then add a subnet to it. This will prepare your Azure infrastructure for the deployment of additional virtual network-dependent resources, such as virtual machines (VMs).

Learning Objectives

Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:

Create a Virtual Network

Create a virtual network named vnet1 with the address range 10.0.0.0/16, and confirm that a default subnet with the address range 10.0.0.0/24 will be added.

Add an Additional Subnet to the Virtual Network

Add an additional subnet named ServerSubnet with the address range 10.0.1.0/24.

Additional Resources

Lab Scenario

To help you walk through the lab, consider the following scenario:

You work as a Cloud Engineer, and the deployment of Azure resources is your responsibility.

Your manager has asked you to deploy a virtual network with two subnets to Azure in preparation for deploying Dev/Test virtual machines.

Using an existing resource group, you will complete the following:

  • Create a new virtual network
  • Add a subnet to the virtual network

Lab Setup

The objectives for this hands-on lab can be completed using the Azure portal.

From the lab page, launch the Azure portal in a private browser window. (This option will read differently depending on your browser — for example, in Chrome, it reads Open Link in Incognito Window.) Then, sign in using the credentials provided.
