Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator AssociateImplement and manage virtual networkingMedium
A company is deploying a new application in Azure that requires direct, private connectivity between Azure virtual networks (VNets) located in different regions. The application must have high throughput and low latency communication between the VNets. You need to recommend a solution that meets these requirements.
- AAzure VPN Gateway
- BVNet Peering
- CAzure Virtual WAN
- DExpressRoute
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. VNet Peering
VNet Peering allows for direct, private connectivity between Azure virtual networks, enabling high throughput and low latency communication, even across different regions. This is the most suitable solution for VNet-to-VNet communication within Azure.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Azure VPN Gateway is primarily used for connecting on-premises networks to Azure or for VNet-to-VNet connectivity with lower throughput and higher latency than peering.
- C. Azure Virtual WAN is a networking service that brings many networking, security, and routing functionalities together to provide a single operational interface, but VNet Peering is the direct method for VNet-to-VNet connectivity.
- D. ExpressRoute is used for connecting on-premises networks to Azure with dedicated private connections, not for VNet-to-VNet connectivity within Azure.
VNet Peering
VNet Peering connects two Azure virtual networks (VNets) directly, enabling private communication between them using the Azure backbone network.
- Enables high-bandwidth, low-latency communication.
- Traffic stays within the Azure backbone network.
- Can connect VNets in the same or different regions.
Memory trick: Peering is like a direct handshake between two Azure networks.
