- Virtual Network (VNet)
- Subnets segment a VNet; NSGs filter inbound/outbound traffic.
- VNet peering connects VNets for private communication.
- VPN Gateway
- ExpressRoute
- Azure Load Balancer and Application Gateway distribute traffic at different layers.
Virtual Network (VNet)
isolated private network for Azure resources.
Subnets segment a VNet; NSGs filter inbound/outbound traffic.
