Green Azure environment

1. The Foundation: Enterprise Governance

Before deploying a single virtual network, you need a structured hierarchy. This ensures security, compliance, and clear billing boundaries.

  • Management Groups: Target containers that help you manage access, policy, and compliance across multiple subscriptions. Youll usually have a Prod group, a Non-Prod group, and a Core-Infra group.
  • Subscriptions: Separated by environment or business unit (e.g., Production-Subscription, Connectivity-Subscription, Identity-Subscription).
  • Resource Groups (RGs): Logical buckets within subscriptions where the actual resources live. Keep lifecycle-dependent resources together (e.g., if a database and an app server get destroyed together, put them in the same RG).

2. The Core Network Topology: Hub-and-Spoke

Think of this as a major airport hub connecting to smaller regional airports.

The Hub VNet (The Central Station)

This Virtual Network (VNet) acts as the central point of connectivity. It does not host application workloads. Instead, it hosts shared infrastructure:

  • Azure Firewall / Network Virtual Appliance (NVA): The ultimate gatekeeper. All traffic entering, leaving, or moving between
