How to Create Resource Groups & Virtual Networks in Azure
Are you diving into Azure and wondering how to keep your cloud resources organized and
connected? I recently explored how to create Resource Groups and Virtual Networks
(VNets) in Azure two foundational steps for any cloud solution. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Resource Group: Think of it as a folder to keep your related Azure resources together,
simplifying management, access, and billing.
Virtual Network: This defines your private IP space in Azure and acts as a backbone for
secure communication between services.
Steps to Create Them:
How to Create a Resource Group:
• Go to the Azure Portal
Navigate to Resource groups
Click “+ Create”
Next, Fill in your subscription, name, and region
Next, Click “Review + Create” → “Create”
Finally, Resource group created.
How to Create a Virtual Network
Note: I used a different subscription and Resource group when
showing how to create a Virtual Network.
Go to Virtual networks in the portal
Click “+ Create”
Choose your resource group
Next, Name your VNet, set your region
Enable security if you intend to, for this documentation, I didn’t enable any
security since its for testing purposes
Configure address space and subnets
Next, You edit subnet name and size
Hit “Review + Create” → “Create” 2nd picture shows Virtual Network created. 
Finally, Image showing the Virtual Network has been Created
