Azure: Creating Route Table

This article was written using chatGPT.

To create an Azure route table, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com/ and log in with your Azure account.
2. In the search bar, search for "Route tables" and click on the result.
3. Click "+ Add" button.
4. In the "Create route table" page, fill out the following information:
5. Subscription: Select the Azure subscription that you want to use.
6. Resource group: Select an existing resource group or create a new one.
7. Region: Select the Azure region where you want to deploy the route table. Make sure this region also has the resource this route table will be attached to. See Resource Group, Step 7 for more details.
8. Name: Enter a name for the new route table.
9. Click on "Create" to create the new route table.

After creating the route table, you can add routes to it to specify the path for traffic to reach a destination. To add a route to the route table, you can follow these steps:

1. In the route table overview page, click on "Routes" in the left-hand menu.
2. Click on the "+ Add" button to add a new route.
3. In the "Add route" page, fill out the following information:
4. Name: Enter a name for the route.
5. Destination address prefix: Select IP Addresses.
6. Destination IP addresses/CIDR ranges: Enter the destination IP or subnet.
7. Next hop type: Select the type of next hop for the route, such as "Virtual appliance", "Virtual network gateway", or "Internet". For this demo, we will be going to another VM.
8. Next hop address: Enter the IP address for the next hop.
9. Click on "Add" to save the route to the route table.

Next, you associate the route table with a subnet in a virtual network to control the routing for traffic between resources in that subnet. To associate the route table with a subnet, you can follow these steps:

1. In the route table overview page, click on "Subnets" in the left-hand menu.
2. Click on the "+ Associate" button to associate the route table with a subnet.
3. In the "Associate subnet" page, select the virtual network and subnet that you want to associate with the route table.
4. Click on "OK" to save the changes and associate the route table with the subnet.

Once the route table is associated with a subnet, the routes in the route table are applied to traffic between resources in that subnet.
