az-network: Create a virtual network.
$ az network vnet create --address-prefixes ${10-0-0-0-16} --name ${vnet} --resource_group ${group_name} --submet-name ${subnet} --subnet-prefixes ${10-0-0-0-24}

This command creates a virtual network (VNet) in the Azure Cloud using the Azure CLI (Command-Line Interface). Here is a breakdown of the different components of the command:

  • az: It is the command used to interact with the Azure CLI.
  • network: It specifies that the command is related to networking operations.
  • vnet create: It indicates that a new virtual network needs to be created.
  • --address-prefixes ${10-0-0-0-16}: It specifies the address prefixes for the VNet. In this case, it is set to 10.0.0.0/16, which means the VNet will have an IP range from 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.255.255.
  • --name ${vnet}: It defines the name of the created VNet. The parameter ${vnet} suggests that the value will be provided as an input or variable.
  • --resource_group ${group_name}: It specifies the resource group in which the VNet will be created. The parameter ${group_name} represents the name of the resource group.
  • --submet-name ${subnet}: It defines the name of the subnet within the VNet. The parameter ${subnet} indicates that the value will be provided as an input or variable.
  • --subnet-prefixes ${10-0-0-0-24}: It specifies the address prefixes for the subnet. In this case, it is set to 10.0.0.0/24, which means the subnet will have an IP range from 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.0.255.

Overall, this command creates a new VNet with a specific address range, within a specified resource group, including a subnet with its unique address range. The values for the address prefixes, VNet name, resource group name, and subnet name can be customized based on the desired configuration.
