Quickstart: Deploy a network topology with Azure Virtual Network Manager using Azure Resource Manager template - ARM template
Get started with Azure Virtual Network Manager by using Azure Resource Manager templates to manage connectivity for all your virtual networks.
In this quickstart, an Azure Resource Manager template is used to deploy Azure Virtual Network Manager with different connectivity topology and network group membership types. Use deployment parameters to specify the type of configuration to deploy.
Important
Azure Virtual Network Manager is generally available for Virtual Network Manager, hub-and-spoke connectivity configurations, and security configurations with security admin rules. Mesh connectivity configurations remain in public preview.
This preview version is provided without a service level agreement, and it's not recommended for production workloads. Certain features might not be supported or might have constrained capabilities. For more information, see Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews.
An Azure Resource Manager template is a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file that defines the infrastructure and configuration for your project. The template uses declarative syntax. You describe your intended deployment without writing the sequence of programming commands to create the deployment.
If your environment meets the prerequisites and you're familiar with using ARM templates, select the Deploy to Azure button. The template opens in the Azure portal.
Prerequisites
- An Azure account with an active subscription. Create an account for free.
- To support deploying Azure Policy for dynamic group membership, the template is designed to deploy at the subscription scope. However, it's not a requirement for Azure Virtual Network Manager if using static group membership.
Review the template
The template used in this quickstart is from Azure Quickstart Templates

The template defines multiple Azure resources:
- Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks
- Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups
- Microsoft.Resources/deployments
- Microsoft.Authorization/policyDefinitions
- Microsoft.Authorization/policyAssignments
- Microsoft.Network/networkManagers/networkGroups/staticMembers
- Microsoft.Network/networkManagers/networkGroups
- Microsoft.Network/networkManagers/connectivityConfigurations
- Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities
- Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments
- Microsoft.Resources/deploymentScripts
Deploy the template
Sign in to Azure and open the Azure Resource Manager template by selecting the Deploy to Azure button here. The template creates the instance of Azure Virtual Network Manager, the network infrastructure, and the network manager configurations.
In the Azure portal, select or enter the following information:
Setting Value Subscription Select the subscription to use for the deployment. Instance Details Resource Group Name Use the default of rg-avnm-sample Region Select the region to deploy the resources. Location Enter the location to deploy the resources. The location value is used in the resource naming convention
The location matches the Region you've chosen, and is written with no spaces. For example, East US is written as EastUS.Connectivity Topology Select the connectivity topology to deploy. The options include mesh, hubAndSpoke, and meshWithHubAndSpoke. Network Group Membership Type Select the network group membership type. The options include static and dynamic. Select Review + create to review the settings and read the terms and conditions statement.
Select Create to deploy the template.
The deployment takes a few minutes to complete. After the deployment is complete, the Deployment succeeded message appears.
Validate the deployment
From the Home page in the Azure portal, select Resource groups and select rg-avnm-sample.
Verify all of the components are deployed successfully.
Select the avnm-EastUS resource.
In the Network Groups page, select Settings>NetworkGroups>ng-EastUS-static.
On the ng-EastUS-static page, select Settings>Group Members and verify a set of virtual networks are deployed.
Note
Depending on the selections you made for the deployment, you may see different virtual networks for the group members.
Clean up resources
When you no longer need the resources that you created with the private endpoint, delete the resource group. Doing so removes the private endpoint and all the related resources.
- To delete the resource group, open the resource group in the Azure portal and select Delete resource group.
- Enter the name of the resource group, and then select Delete.
- One the resource group is deleted, verify the network manager instance and all related resources are deleted.
