Create a Virtual Network and the Primary Subnet

2. On the Create virtual network page, configure the following settings:
  - Resource group: Select the pre-provisioned resource group from the dropdown.
  - Name: Enter "vnet-1".
  - Region: Use the same region as your resource group
3. Delete the existing range, then update the address space to 10.0.0.0/16.
4. Create the subnet:
  - Click the edit icon next to the "default" subnet.
  - Name: Enter "subnet-a".
  - Address range: Enter "10.0.1.0/24".
Challenge

Create the Secondary Subnet
1. Use the Azure Portal to create a second subnet.
2. Create the second subnet with an address range of 10.0.2.0/24 and a name of "subnet-b".
Challenge

Create and Associate a Network Security Group
1. Use the Azure Portal to create a new network security group named "NSG1". Use the same region as your virtual network
2. Associate the Network Security Group with the subnets subnet-a and subnet-b.
