Can I create virtual machine without virtual network in Azure Resource Manager

Question

I am trying to create virtual machine (VM) in Azure using ARM templates. In classical model of IAAS, we can create a virtual machine without virtual network in cloud service. Similar to classical model i don't want to put VM in virtual network.

Does anyone tried to create vm without virtual network in Azure resource manager.

Answer 1

A VNet is used to provide the VM with DHCP and Security Group services. A VM would be unable to obtain an IP address without it. In the same manner that a V1Vm could not be created without a cloud service, an Azure VM cannot be created without a vnet.
