Configure and manage virtual networks for Azure administrators

Learn how to configure networking in a secure way for your Azure virtual machines.

A good Azure IP addressing schema provides flexibility, room for growth, and integration with on-premises networks. The schema ensures that communication works for deployed resources, minimizes public exposure of systems, and gives the organization flexibility in its network. If not properly designed, systems might not be able to communicate, and additional work will be required to remediate.

Use virtual network peering to enable communication across virtual networks in a way that's secure and minimally complex.

Network security groups and service endpoints help you secure your virtual machines and Azure services from unauthorized network access.
