Chapter 4: Managing Azure
- You don't need anything when you create a virtual machine using the Azure portal. When you use the command line, you need virtual networks with the following:
A resource group
Azure Virtual Network (VNet)
A configured subnet
A network security group
A public IP address
A network interface

- Sometimes (for instance, for a storage account), the name must be unique. A prefix combined with a randomly generated number is a nice way to make the name recognizable and unique.
- To define the IP range that can be used within a virtual network.
- To create one or more subnets within the virtual network that can be isolated or routed to each other, without going outside the virtual network.
- A network security group provides ACLs for the network and provides port-forwarding to the virtual machines or containers.
- Traffic from the virtual machine to the internet...
