Azure Virtual Network Peering
Categories:

VNet peering is a feature in Azure that enables you to connect two virtual networks in the same or different regions using Microsoft’s backbone network. VNet peering allows resources in both VNets to communicate with each other as if they were in the same network and supports transitive routing, private and secure connections, and custom routing.
Regional and global peering: You can create VNet peering connections between VNets in the same or different regions.
Transitive routing: VNet peering supports transitive routing, which means connecting VNets in a hub-and-spoke topology and allowing traffic to flow between them.
Private and secure: VNet peering connections are private and secure, as they are established over Microsoft’s backbone network and do not traverse the internet.
No gateway required: VNet peering requires no additional network gateways or appliances, which can simplify network architecture and reduce costs.
Custom routing: You can configure custom routing rules for your VNet peering connections to control traffic flow between VNets.
It’s important to note that VNet peering has some limitations and considerations, such as limitations on the number of peering connections you can create, restrictions on overlapping IP address ranges, and network security and compliance considerations.
