Create a Virtual Network in Azure Using Azure CLI

Virtual Networks (VNet) are a core and common part of many solutions that you can build within Azure. Using a VNet, we can provide private connectivity between resources in Azure. In this lab, you will have the opportunity to create a VNet using Azure CLI. Through the Azure CLI, we can create resources within Azure that can help automate and improve consistency for many administrative tasks that you would otherwise complete manually through the Azure portal. After completing this lab, you'll be familiar with how to create a VNet and modify subnet configuration, using Azure CLI.
