Event details
If you’re running workloads in Azure, you already know the world of Virtual Networks, subnets, IP ranges, and all the moving parts that come with cloud networking.
But have you met Azure Virtual Network Manager: the service that finally brings centralized governance and consistency to your network landscape?
Instead of managing each Virtual Network separately, Azure Virtual Network Manager gives you a single control plane to define, deploy, and enforce network configurations across your entire environment. Even better, it introduces long‑awaited capabilities like built‑in IP Address Management that previously required third‑party tools or custom solutions.
In this session, we’ll walk through how to configure Azure Virtual Network Manager from the ground up, explore its strengths, and shine a light on its limitations so you know exactly what to expect before adopting it.
When you head home after the event, your backpack will be filled with:
- Guidelines for setting up Azure Virtual Network Manager
- A clear understanding of its key features and how to use them effectively
- Real-world scenarios where AVNM is not the right choice
- All demo code so you can deploy everything in your own environment
Join us as Rex de Koning goes through a practical, honest, and demo-heavy deep dive into one of Azure’s most powerful new networking tools.

Excellent centralized management !
Some quick questions,
You show how to create an "Allow ALL" NSG that overrides local NSGs, but this allow-all is visible inside the nsg for verification
After that you demo the mesh-config, showing in the Peerings that vn1,vn2,vn3 were not having ANY Peering at all , but still able to connect to each other because of the "mesh-config" from AVNM !
How is this "visible" on each network for verification ?
Or Network Watcher is able to see , if we are trying to troubleshoot something ?
Thanks again for your interesting demo's
BR , PanosI was a bit to quick with my previous reply.. It is visible on the VM level. If you go to the nic of your VM and to the effictive routes page you will see:
So the NIC for this VM is in VNET1 (10.31.1.0/24) and the other VNETS 10.31.2.0/24 and 10.31.3.0/24 have a Next HOP Type of Connected Network
Its not directly visible, but is it is sort of a managed peering underneed the hood. If you use network watcher to monitor traffic it will show that the traffic just flows freely, same with the connection trouble shooter
Is there any option to export IMAP settings that we have in an on-prem or in a custom csv-xls file and import inside AVNM ? To prepare for massive deployment or to see availability of IPaddressing and maybe reconfigure to a better solution ?
Or this is not recommended at all ?I dont see any host, or co-host presenting here, pls inform us if the session is cancelled and when it will be rescheduled.
Many thanks ,
PanosHi, is the event cancelled ?? There is no host or video at the moment, pls inform,

Sorry, it was delayed an hour. Rex answered your question as below:
"Theoretically yes, you can read the CSV in for example PowerShell, read out the address ranges/CIDR name for comments and create pools from that."
