How do you deploy a virtual network in Azure?

1. Using SQL to manage the network settings

2. Through the Azure portal or CLI with defined parameters

3. Only via PowerShell commands

4. By creating a resource group

The correct answer is: Through the Azure portal or CLI with defined parameters

Deploying a virtual network in Azure can be achieved through various methods, primarily utilizing the Azure portal or the command-line interface (CLI) with specified parameters that detail the configuration of the virtual network such as the address space, subnets, and other network settings. This flexibility allows users to customize their networks according to the requirements of their applications and services. Using the Azure portal provides a graphical user interface that simplifies the configuration process, enabling users to fill out forms and options as they go, while the CLI allows for automation and scripting, making it ideal for deployments that need to be repeated or managed programmatically. Both methods ensure that the virtual network is deployed correctly, and users can have their configurations validated as they set them up. Conversely, deploying only via PowerShell commands or solely through creating a resource group would limit options for managing and configuring the virtual network effectively. While PowerShell is a powerful tool, it is not the only method available in Azure. Creating a resource group is simply one step in the process; resource groups are used to contain resources but do not themselves deploy a virtual network without the additional configuration steps. Finally, using SQL is irrelevant for managing network settings in Azure, as SQL pertains to database management, not networking configurations.
