Benefits of Virtual Network Peering
- Improved Performance: Virtual network peering enables low-latency and high-bandwidth connectivity between virtual networks.
- Secure and Private connectivity: Azure Peering provides secure and private connectivity between virtual networks, making it an ideal solution for multi-tier applications.
- Simplified network architecture and cost efficient: Eliminating the need of complex VPN gateways or virtual appliances to establish.
What is Azure Virtual Network Peering ?
Imagine we have a virtual network named vnet1 which has address space assigned dynamically and subnets under that. so, the resources can be connected to subnets and they will be assigned with static Ip address. The resources which are connected to subnets can communicate with each other unless we restrict them. This is a default behavior. Similarly, we have another virtual network named vnet2. If we want the virtual networks to communicate with each other, it cannot happen dynamically. So we need Virtual network peering. In this article, let us understand Azure Virtual Network Peering.
