A virtual network in Azure functions similarly to an on-premises network, allowing seamless connectivity between various resources.Virtual networks in Azure can include multiple subnets, each with its own address range derived from the main network's address space.Network Security Groups (NSGs) control inbound and outbound traffic for Virtual Machines (VMs) in a virtual network.Network Interfaces (NICs) enable communication between Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) and the virtual network, supporting multiple NICs per VM.
