+# Quickstart: Use Terraform to configure a virtual network in Azure
+
+In this quickstart, you use Terraform to create a virtual network, subnets, private DNS zones, network interfaces, Windows virtual machines, a private DNS A record, network security groups, and a network security rule in Azure.
+An Azure virtual network is a fundamental component of the Azure networking model, providing isolation and protection for your virtual machines. It's used to control and manage traffic between resources such as virtual machines within a network.
+In addition to the Azure virtual network, this code also creates:
+
+* Subnets within the network.
+* Private DNS zones for name resolution.
+* Network interfaces for the virtual machines.
+* Network security groups to control inbound and outbound traffic.
+* Windows virtual machines with random passwords for administration.
+
+[!INCLUDE [About Terraform](~/azure-dev-docs-pr/articles/terraform/includes/abstract.md)]
+
+> [!div class="checklist"]
+> * Specify the required version and providers for Terraform.
+> * Define variables for the resource group location, name prefix, address space, address prefixes, private DNS zone name, and admin username.
+> * Generate a random pet name for the resource group.
+> * Create an Azure resource group with a unique name.
+> * Generate a random string for unique naming.
+> * Create a virtual network with a unique name.
+> * Create a subnet within the virtual network.
+> * Create a private DNS zone.
+> * Link the private DNS zone to the virtual network.
+> * Generate random passwords for the virtual machines.
+> * Create two network interfaces.
+> * Create two Windows virtual machines and attach the network interfaces.
+> * Create a private DNS A record.
+> * Create a network security group.
+> * Create a network security rule to allow ICMP traffic.
+> * Output the names and admin credentials of the virtual machines.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Create an Azure account with an active subscription. You can [create an account for free](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/?WT.mc_id=A261C142F).
+
+- [Install and configure Terraform](/azure/developer/terraform/quickstart-configure).
+
+## Implement the Terraform code
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The sample code for this article is located in the [Azure Terraform GitHub repo](https://github.com/Azure/terraform/tree/master/quickstart/101-dns-private-zone). You can view the log file containing the [test results from current and previous versions of Terraform](https://github.com/Azure/terraform/tree/master/quickstart/101-dns-private-zone/TestRecord.md).
+> 
+> See more [articles and sample code showing how to use Terraform to manage Azure resources](/azure/terraform).
+
+1. Create a directory in which to test and run the sample Terraform code, and make it the current directory.
+
+1. Create a file named `main.tf`, and insert the following code.
+    :::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-dns-private-zone/main.tf":::
+
+1. Create a file named `outputs.tf`, and insert the following code.
+    :::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-dns-private-zone/outputs.tf":::
+
+1. Create a file named `providers.tf`, and insert the following code.
+    :::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-dns-private-zone/providers.tf":::
+
+1. Create a file named `variables.tf`, and insert the following code.
+    :::code language="Terraform" source="~/terraform_samples/quickstart/101-dns-private-zone/variables.tf":::
+
+## Initialize Terraform
+
+[!INCLUDE [terraform-init.md](~/azure-dev-docs-pr/articles/terraform/includes/terraform-init.md)]
+
+## Create a Terraform execution plan
+
+[!INCLUDE [terraform-plan.md](~/azure-dev-docs-pr/articles/terraform/includes/terraform-plan.md)]
+
+## Apply a Terraform execution plan
+
+[!INCLUDE [terraform-apply-plan.md](~/azure-dev-docs-pr/articles/terraform/includes/terraform-apply-plan.md)]
+
+## Verify the results
+
+### [Azure CLI](#tab/azure-cli)
+
+1. Run `az network private-dns zone list` to view all DNS zones and find yours.
+
+  ```azurecli
+  az network private-dns zone list --output table
+  ```
+
+1. Run `az network private-dns zone show` to view the resource group associate with your DNS zone.
+
+   ```azurecli
+   az network private-dns zone show --name <dnsZoneName> --resource-group <resourceGroupName>
+   ```
+
+   Replace `<dnsZoneName>` with the name of your DNS zone and `<resourceGroupName>` with the name of your resource group.
