Azure Network libraries for python

Overview

Azure Virtual Network allows you to connect Azure resources, and also connect them to your on-premises network.

To get started with Azure Virtual Network, see Create your first virtual network.

Management APIs

Inspect, manage, and configure Azure virtual networks with the management APIs.

Unlike other Azure python APIs, the networking APIs are explicitly versioned into separage packages. You do not need to import them individually since the package information is specified in the client constructor.

Install the management package with pip.

pip install azure-mgmt-network

Example

Create a virtual network and an associated subnet.

from azure.mgmt.network import NetworkManagementClient

GROUP_NAME = 'resource-group'
VNET_NAME = 'your-vnet-identifier'
LOCATION = 'region'
SUBNET_NAME = 'your-subnet-identifier'

network_client = NetworkManagementClient(credentials, 'your-subscription-id')

async_vnet_creation = network_client.virtual_networks.create_or_update(
    GROUP_NAME,
    VNET_NAME,
    {
        'location': LOCATION,
        'address_space': {
            'address_prefixes': ['10.0.0.0/16']
        }
    }
)
async_vnet_creation.wait()

# Create Subnet
async_subnet_creation = network_client.subnets.create_or_update(
    GROUP_NAME,
    VNET_NAME,
    SUBNET_NAME,
    {'address_prefix': '10.0.0.0/24'}
)
subnet_info = async_subnet_creation.result()
