Abstract
A virtual network manager and associated user interface/portal provide customers with simplified centralized management of virtual networks to implement logical groupings of network resources at scale. The virtual network manager enables network segmentation using names or tags, connectivity configuration to create different virtual network topologies, security configuration to provide enforcement of organizational rules without being overwritten and Network Security Group (NSG) management in a simple and scalable manner, safe deployment of network configurations to designated regions on a fix and roll forward basis, and virtual network (VNet) level monitoring.
