Implement Custom Network Routes in Azure Virtual Network

In this hands-on lab, you are working as an Azure network engineer for Street Wise, a company that produces high-tech GPS applications. You’ve been asked to create a custom network route in order to route traffic heading for the server through a virtual appliance for inspection. To do so, you’ll use custom routes to direct traffic bound for the server's virtual machine to a virtual appliance first, and then onward to the server.
