SYNOPSIS
az network subcommand [options]

CAVEATS
Many network resources have dependencies; for example, deleting a virtual network requires removing all associated subnets and connected resources first. DNS record changes may take time to propagate globally. Application gateways incur charges even when stopped; delete unused gateways.
HISTORY
Azure Virtual Network was one of the earliest Azure services, launching with Azure's general availability in 2010. The networking capabilities have expanded significantly to include Azure DNS (2015), Application Gateway, ExpressRoute, and advanced security features.
