Virtual Network Peering allows you to connect two virtual networks in Azure. This feature is very useful when you want to share resources between two networks without exposing them to the public internet.

Key Points

  • Peering Type: There are two types of peering: Intra-VNet Peering and Inter-VNet Peering.
  • Peering Properties: Each peering has properties like State, Subnet Peering, and Traffic Tags.
  • Benefits: Reduced latency, improved security, and simplified network management.

How to Set Up Virtual Network Peering

  1. Create Virtual Networks: First, you need to create two virtual networks in Azure.
  2. Configure Peering: Navigate to the virtual network you want to peer and go to the "Peering" section.
  3. Add Peering: Click on "Add Peering" and specify the properties like peering name, peering type, and peering properties.
  4. Verify Peering: Once the peering is set up, verify the peering state by going to the "Peering" section of the peer virtual network.

Best Practices

  • Use Private Endpoints: Use private endpoints for accessing resources in the peer virtual network to improve security.
  • Limit Peering Scope: Limit the peering scope to only the required subnets to reduce the attack surface.
  • Monitor Peering: Regularly monitor the peering to ensure it is functioning as expected.
