3.2 Virtual Networking

Azure Virtual Network is a service that provides the fundamental building block for your private network in Azure. A virtual network is similar to a traditional network that you’d operate in your own datacenter. But it brings extra benefits of the Azure infrastructure, such as scale, availability, and isolation.
