An Azure virtual network contains a private IP address space that's configured for your use. Your virtual network must be in the same Azure region as your Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server instance. To learn more about virtual networks, see the [Azure Virtual Network overview](../../virtual-network/virtual-networks-overview.md).

***Delegated subnet**. A virtual network contains subnets (sub-networks). Subnets enable you to segment your virtual network into smaller address spaces. Azure resources are deployed into specific subnets within a virtual network.

Your VNET integrated Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server instance must be in a subnet that's *delegated*. That is, only Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server instances can use that subnet. No other Azure resource types can be in the delegated subnet. You delegate a subnet by assigning its delegation property as `Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers`.
46
-
The smallest CIDR range you can specify for the subnet is /28, which provides sixteen IP addresses, however the first and last address in any network or subnet can't be assigned to any individual host. Azure reserves five IPs to be utilized internally by Azure networking, which include two IPs that cannot be assigned to host, mentioned above. This leaves you eleven available IP addresses for /28 CIDR range, whereas a single Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server instance with High Availability features utilizes 4 addresses.

For Replication and Microsoft Entra connections please make sure Route Tables do not affect traffic.A common pattern is route all outbound traffic via an Azure Firewall or a custom on-premises network filtering appliance.

Frequently customers have a need to connect to clients different Azure regions. More specifically, this question typically boils down to how to connect two VNETs (one of which has Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible Server and another application client) that are in different regions.
136
136
There are multiple ways to achieve such connectivity, some of which are:
137
-
***[Global VNET peering](../../virtual-network/virtual-network-peering-overview.md)**. Most common methodology, as its is the easiest way to connect networks in different regions together. Global VNET peering will create a connection over the Azure backbone directly between the two peered VNETs. This provides best network throughput and lowest latencies for connectivity using this method. When VNETs are peered, Azure will also handle the routing automatically for you, these VNETs can communicate with all resources in the peered VNET, established on a VPN gateway.
138
-
***[VNET-to-VNET connection](../../vpn-gateway/vpn-gateway-howto-vnet-vnet-resource-manager-portal.md)**. A VNET-to-VNET connection is essentially a VPN between the two different Azure locations. The VNET-to-VNET connection is established on a VPN gateway. This means your traffic will incur two additional traffic hops as compared to global VNET peering. There is also additional latency and lower bandwith as compared to that method.

Instead of connecting spoke virtual networks directly to each other, you can use network appliances to forward traffic between spokes. Network appliances provide additional network services like deep packet inspection and traffic segmentation or monitoring, but they can introduce latency and performance bottlenecks if they're not properly sized.

An example that uses an FQDN as a host name is `hostname = servername.postgres.database.azure.com`. Where possible, avoid using `hostname = 10.0.0.4` (a private address) or `hostname = 40.2.45.67` (a public address).
