Introduction

Still working on configuring an ARM template to deploy a complete lab environment with a Linux VM. Need to add the creation of a virtual network and subnet in it.

Instructions

Going to keep it short and simple today. I added some variables to set the address space for the entire virtual network, then the IP address range for a subnet inside that vnet. From there I created a virtual network with a single subnet in it:

{
            "type": "Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks",
            "apiVersion": "2020-05-01",
            "name": "[variables('vnetName')]",
            "location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
            "properties": {
                "addressSpace": {
                    "addressPrefixes": [
                        "[variables('vnetAddressSpace')]"
                    ]
                },
                "subnets": [
                    {
                        "name": "[variables('subnetName')]",
                        "properties": {
                            "addressPrefix": "[variables('subnetAddressSpace')]"
                        }
                    }
                ],
                "virtualNetworkPeerings": [],
                "enableDdosProtection": false,
                "enableVmProtection": false
            }
        }

I also needed to add another dependsOn object to the virtual machine network interface so it didn't try to create before the virtual network and subnet existed.

Next Steps

The last thing I want to do is save an admin password into a key vault and have the template use that to set the password on the admin account for the vm.
