The az network command-line tool is part of the Azure CLI and is used to manage Azure Networking resources. It allows users to create, configure, and manage virtual networks, subnets, network interfaces, load balancers, network security groups, public IP addresses, application security groups, virtual network gateways, VPN connections, DNS zones, and other networking components within the Azure cloud platform.

It provides a programmatic interface to perform tasks such as provisioning network resources, modifying configurations, and monitoring the network infrastructure. Using 'az network', users can automate network deployment, troubleshooting, and administration, which are crucial for developing, deploying, and managing cloud-based applications and services on Azure.

This command is used in many automation pipelines and scripts, facilitating Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices. It offers a consistent way to interact with Azure's networking capabilities across different platforms and environments. The command is used by developers, system administrators, and network engineers who work with Azure cloud services.

The 'az network' command has many subgroups for managing specific networking resources, such as 'az network vnet' for virtual networks, 'az network nsg' for network security groups, 'az network public-ip' for public IP addresses, and 'az network lb' for load balancers. Each subgroup provides specific commands for creating, updating, deleting, and managing resources of that type. Refer to the Azure CLI documentation for specific details on the available commands and options within each subgroup.

Creating a virtual network:
az network vnet create --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myVNet --address-prefixes 10.0.0.0/16 --subnet-name mySubnet --subnet-prefixes 10.0.1.0/24

Creating a Network Security Group:
az network nsg create --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myNSG
