Scanning in Azure Environments

Let us get familiar with a few terms in networking basics.

VNet

An Azure Virtual Network (VNet) is a representation of your own network in the cloud. It is a logical isolation of the Azure cloud dedicated to your subscription. Each VNet you create has its own CIDR block and can be linked to other VNets and on-premises networks as long as the CIDR blocks do not overlap.

VNet peering

A mechanism that connects two virtual networks (VNets) in the same and/or different regions through the Azure backbone network. Once peered, the two virtual networks appear as one for all connectivity purposes.

Various Azure Environments
