As you build your network in Azure, it's important to keep in mind the following universal design principles:
3535

36-
- Ensure address spaces don't overlap. Make sure your virtual network address space (CIDR block) doesn't overlap with your organization's other network ranges.
36+
- Ensure address spaces don't overlap. Make sure your virtual network address spaces (CIDR blocks) don't overlap with your organization's other in-use network ranges.

- See the recommended address ranges in the [FAQ](/azure/virtual-network/virtual-networks-faq#what-address-ranges-can-i-use-in-my-virtual-networks)

- Your subnets shouldn't cover the entire address space of the virtual network. Plan ahead and reserve some address space for the future.

- Use a few large virtual networks instead of multiple small ones to reduce management overhead.
43+

- You should also follow the [Azure landing zone design principle of Subscription Democratization](/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/ready/landing-zone/design-principles#subscription-democratization) meaning it is recommended to have many subscriptions, each with their own virtual network (possibly multiple), to help you achieve and implement [Zero Trust](/security/zero-trust/azure-networking-overview) in your Azure networking.
45+
- Commonly a hub and spoke architecture is used to implement this at scale with a [traditional virtual network approach](/azure/architecture/networking/architecture/hub-spoke) or [Virtual WAN](/azure/architecture/networking/architecture/hub-spoke-virtual-wan-architecture)

- Secure your virtual networks by assigning Network Security Groups (NSGs) to the subnets beneath them. For more information about network security concepts, see [Azure network security overview](../security/fundamentals/network-overview.md).
