Overview of this book

Microsoft provides organizations with an effective way of managing their network with Azure's networking services. No matter the size of your organization, Azure provides a way to highly reliable performance and secure connectivity with its networking services. The book starts with an introduction to the Azure networking like creating Azure virtual networks, designing address spaces and subnets. Then you will learn to create and manage network security groups, application security groups, and IP addresses in Azure. Gradually, we move on to various aspects like S2S, P2S, and Vnet2Vnet connections, DNS and routing, load balancers and traffic manager. This book will cover every aspect and function required to deliver practical recipes to help readers learn from basic cloud networking practices to planning, implementing, and securing their infrastructure network with Azure. Readers will not only be able to upscale their current environment but will also learn to monitor, diagnose, and ensure secure connectivity. After learning to deliver a robust environment readers will also gain meaningful insights from recipes on best practices. By the end of this book, readers will gain hands-on experience in providing cost-effective solutions that benefit organizations.

Connecting VNets using network peering

Another option to connect two Azure VNets is to use network peering. This approach doesn't require the use of a virtual network gateway, so it's more economical to use if the only requirement is to establish a connection between Azure VNets. Network peering uses the Microsoft backbone infrastructure to establish a connection between two VNets, and traffic is routed through private IP addresses only. However, this traffic is not encrypted; it's private traffic that stays on the Microsoft network, similar to what happens to traffic on the same Azure VNet.
