Azure Virtual Network is a service provided by Microsoft Azure that allows users to create and manage virtual private networks (VPNs) within the Azure cloud environment. It enables the creation of isolated networks that can securely connect to other Azure services or to on-premises networks. With Azure Virtual Network, users can create and manage virtual machines (VMs), control network traffic, and set up network security policies to protect their data and applications.

This service is an essential component for building complex, multi-tier applications that require secure and reliable communication between different components. Azure Virtual Network provides flexibility and scalability to meet the changing needs of businesses of all sizes, making it a popular choice for organizations looking to move to the cloud.
