As mentioned in my previous blog titled Microsoft Azure: Networking Basics , subnets carved out from a VNET address space have complete access to communicate with one another. Although theres more than one way to control cross network communication, this blog will cover the method of using Network Security Groups (NSG) to achieve this goal.

At the beginning of the day on 7 September 2021, AS749 wasn’t announcing any routes to the global internet. If the DoD had transitioned these routes to be announced by the “DoD’s traditional operations”, I would have expected them to be transited via AS721 which is how virtually all of the DoD IP address space is routed on the internet.
