# Manage network connections
15-
Network connections allow dev boxes to connect to existing virtual networks, and determine the region into which dev boxes are deployed.
16-
17-
When planning network connectivity for your dev boxes, you must:
18-
- Ensure you have sufficient permissions to create and configure network connections.
19-
- Ensure you have at least one virtual network (VNet) and subnet available for your dev boxes.
20-
- Identify the region or location closest to your dev boxes users. Deploying dev boxes into a region close to the users provides them with a better experience.
21-
- Determine whether dev boxes should connect to your existing networks using an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) join, or a Hybrid Azure AD join.

### Types of Azure Active Directory Join

The Dev Box service requires a configured and working Azure AD join or hybrid AD join, which defines how dev boxes join your domain and access resources.
7280

7381
If your organization uses Azure AD, you can use an Azure AD join, sometimes called a native Azure AD join. Dev box users sign into Azure AD joined dev boxes using their Azure AD account and access resources based on the permissions assigned to that account. Azure AD join enables access to cloud-based and on-premises apps and resources.

75-
If your organization has an on-premises Active Directory implementation, you can still benefit from some of the functionality provided by Azure AD by using hybrid Azure AD joined dev boxes. These dev boxes are joined to your on-premises Active Directory and registered with Azure Active Directory. Hybrid Azure AD joined dev boxes require network line of sight to your on-premises domain controllers periodically. Without this connection, devices become unusable.
