Using azure vnet with virtualnetwork
TypeScriptIn order to set up an Azure Virtual Network (VNet) using Pulumi and the Azure Native provider, you'll need to write a program that declares the necessary resources. A Virtual Network in Azure creates a logically isolated network on the Azure cloud where you can launch Azure resources like Virtual Machines (VMs), databases, and more. It is the fundamental building block for your private network in Azure.
Explanation
First, you need
VirtualNetwork
andSubnet
resources to create a basic network infrastructure.VirtualNetwork
represents the VNet itself, whileSubnet
resources represent subnetworks within the VNet to organize resources into separate groups with similar networking requirements.Here's what you need to do:
- Define the VNet with a specified address space.
- Define one or more subnets within this VNet. Each subnet has a range of IP addresses that are part of the VNet's address space.
The following program in TypeScript will create an Azure Virtual Network and a Subnet within it:
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as azure_native from "@pulumi/azure-native"; const resourceGroupName = 'my-resource-group'; // Replace with your actual resource group name // Create an Azure Resource Group const resourceGroup = new azure_native.resources.ResourceGroup("myResourceGroup", { resourceGroupName: resourceGroupName, }); // Create an Azure Virtual Network const virtualNetwork = new azure_native.network.VirtualNetwork("myVirtualNetwork", { resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, location: resourceGroup.location, addressSpace: { addressPrefixes: ["10.0.0.0/16"], // CIDR notation for the VNet Address space }, }); // Create a Subnet within the Virtual Network const subnet = new azure_native.network.Subnet("mySubnet", { resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, virtualNetworkName: virtualNetwork.name, addressPrefix: "10.0.1.0/24", // CIDR notation for the Subnet Address range within the VNet Address space }); export const vnetId = virtualNetwork.id; export const subnetId = subnet.id;
Detailed Comments
@pulumi/pulumi
is the core library providing functionality to create and manage resources.@pulumi/azure-native
is the Azure Native provider which enables your Pulumi programs to interact with the rich set of Azure services.ResourceGroup
is a logical container for your Azure services. All services must be deployed into a resource group and you can define a resource group by usingnew azure_native.resources.ResourceGroup
.VirtualNetwork
is created by defining at least one address space in which you plan to define your subnets.Subnet
is a range of IP addresses within the VNet that allows you to segment the VNet into one or more sub-networks, tailoring network configurations to your needs.
All interactions with Azure through Pulumi are performed using your account credentials, which should be set up and configured before you run the program.
Next Steps
To apply this configuration, save it as
index.ts
in a new directory, set up your Pulumi stack, and runpulumi up
. This will provision the resources as defined. Remember to review the preview to ensure it matches your expectations before confirming the deployment.Please ensure that you have installed Pulumi and configured Azure credentials for Pulumi on your machine. If you need further information about the resources, refer to the Azure Virtual Network documentation and Azure Subnet documentation.
When you're finished with the resources, run
pulumi destroy
to remove them.
