**What is a Virtual network?**\
\
A Virtual Network (VNet) is a software-defined representation of a traditional network in the cloud. It enables the creation of isolated networks in Azure for secure communication between Azure resources, providing segmentation, and control over IP addressing.

To set up peerings in the virtual network, you will need two virtual networks created.
