Azure - Virtual Network does not exist when deploy to Cloud Service

Question

I tried to add Cloud Service (classic) to Virtual Network (classic), but an error appears when I deploy (new portal - Update your deployment):

The update deployment operation failed for the domain 'developementtajgowebservicev1' in the deployment slot 'staging' with the name 'not working': 'The virtual network devvirtual-Network does not exist.'.

I added this code after Role tag into config file.

<NetworkConfiguration>
    <VirtualNetworkSite name="devvirtual-Network"/>
    <AddressAssignments>
        <InstanceAddress roleName="WorkerRole1">
            <Subnets>
                <Subnet name="Subnet-1"/>
            </Subnets>
        </InstanceAddress>
    </AddressAssignments>
</NetworkConfiguration>

The virtual network with this name exist in same subscription.

There's a solution for this issue here: https://thelonedba.wordpress.com/2015/07/17/new-azurevm-badrequest-the-virtual-network-foo-does-not-exist/

Basically, the problem seems to be that the Azure portal's name for the network isn't the same as the name you need to use in the cloud service configuration.

I was able to get the "correct" name by using the Azure CLI tools:

azure network export networks.json

And then examining the networks.json file.

In my case, the "correct" name of the Virtual Network was "Group [ResourceGroup] [NetworkName]". (ie, the network is called "network1" which is in the Resource Group "group1", so the "correct" name is "Group group1 network1") This was for a "classic" Virtual Network - I haven't tried with the Resource Manager based Virtual Networks.
