Subnet in the Cloud

Problem

Your VNet contains thousands of resources with different purposes and security requirements. One giant network gives you little structure.

Solution — Subnets

Divide the address space:
10.0.1.0/24 → Apps
10.0.2.0/24 → Data
10.0.3.0/24 → Management
Policies and routing can then differ between network areas.
Core idea: subnets divide a larger network into manageable IP and security boundaries.
