Chapter 22 Implementing Virtual Networks with CLI & PS

This Chapter covers following Lab Exercises

• Create Resource Group HKCLI using Azure CLI
• Create Resource Group HKPS using Azure PowerShell
• Create Virtual Network VNETCLI using Azure CLI
• Create Virtual Network VNETPS using Azure PowerShell

Exercise 181: Create Resource Group HKCLI using Azure CLI

You can either use Azure CLI on your desktop or use Cloud shell. For this lab use Azure CLI installed on our desktop. See Chapter 18 on how to use Azure CLI.

1. Open windows CMD on your desktop where Azure CLI is installed>Enter Command az login > This will open a browser. Select Account and Enter subscription credentials.

2. After you have successfully authenticated to Azure through Browser, The CMD window will now show Azure login information as shown below.

   Create Resource Group using az group command az group create --name HKCLI --location eastus2

   Check the Resource Group created
   az group show --name HKCLI or
   az group show --resource-group HKCLI

   Deleting Resource Group
   az group delete --name HKCLI --yes
   Note: Don’t run above command as we need to create resources in the group.

Exercise 182: Create Resource Group HKPS using Azure PowerShell

Note : you can either install and use Azure PowerShell Module on your desktop or use Cloud shell. Refer to chapter 18 for Installing and using Azure PowerShell.

Open PowerShell on your desktop and login using ConnectAzureRmAccount.

Create Resource Group
New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name HKPS -Location eastus2

Check the Resource Group HKPS created
Get-AzureRMResourceGroup
Get-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name HKPS

Deleting Resource Group
Remove-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name HKPS -Force
Note: Don’t run above command as we need to create resources in the group.

Exercise 183: Create Virtual Network VNETCLI using Azure CLI

In this exercise we will create Virtual Network “VNETCLI” in Resource Group HKCLI using 10.2.0.0/16 address space in East US 2 Location. We will also create Subnet with name Web-Subnet with address 10.2.1.0/24.

Open cmd and enter az login command for Authenticating to Subscription.

Create Virtual Network using az network vnet command
az network vnet create --name VNETCLI --address-prefix 10.2.0.0/16 -- resource-group HKCLI --subnet-name Web-Subnet --address-prefix 10.2.1.0/24

Check the Virtual Network created
az network vnet show --name VNETCLI --resource-group HKCLI

Delete Virtual Network
az network vnet delete --name VNETCLI --resource-group HKCLI Note: Don’t run above command as we need to create resources in the VNET.

Exercise 184: Create Virtual Network VNETPS using Azure PowerShell

In this exercise we will create Virtual Network “VNETPS” in Resource Group HKPS using 10.3.0.0/16 address space in East US 2 Location. We will also create Subnet with name Web-Subnet with address 10.3.1.0/24.

Open PowerShell on your desktop and login using ConnectAzureRmAccount.

Create Subnet name Web-Subnet
$subnet = New-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name Web-Subnet -AddressPrefix 10.3.1.0/24

Create Virtual Network
New-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -Name VNETPS -ResourceGroupName HKPS -Location eastus2 -AddressPrefix 10.3.0.0/16 -Subnet $subnet

Check the Virtual Network created
Get-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -Name VNETPS -ResourceGroupName HKPS

Delete Virtual Network
Remove-AzureRmVirtualNetwork -Name VNETPS -ResourceGroupName HKPS
Note : Don’t run above command as we need to create resources in the VNET.
