Create your own private network infrastructure in the cloud
Virtual Network in Azure is free of charge. Every subscription can create up to 50 Virtual Networks across all regions. VNET Peering links two virtual networks – either in the same region, or in different regions - and enables you to route traffic between them using private IP addresses (carry a nominal charge). Inbound and outbound traffic is charged at both ends of the peered networks. Network appliances such as VPN Gateway and Application Gateway that are run inside a virtual network are also charged.

NAT Gateway
NAT Gateway is a top-level resource to allow customers to simplify outbound connectivity for a virtual network at a per subnet level. Customers can choose to declare one or more frontend IP addresses and select individual subnets of a single virtual network. NAT Gateway replaces the default Internet destination in the virtual network’s routing table for the subnets identified by the customer and begins managing outbound SNAT flows for all outbound flows from the selected subnets.
Billing starts when the resource is created.
