Application Security Groups

Introduction

• Application Security Groups (ASGs) are used to group virtual machines and apply network security group rules to the group

Benefits

• Simplifies network security group management
• Reduces the number of rules that need to be created
• Allows for more granular control over network security group rules

Example

• Create an ASG
• Add VMs to the ASG
• Add the ASG as a traffic source in a network security group rule
