By: Sjoukje Zaal

Overview of this book

From designing solutions on Azure to configuring and managing virtual networks, AZ-300 certification can help you achieve all this and more. Whether you want to get certified or gain hands-on experience in administering, developing, and architecting Azure solutions, this study guide will help you get started. The book features not only the different exam objectives, but also guides you through configuring, managing, securing, and architecting Azure resources. Divided into five modules, this book will systematically take you through the different concepts and features as you advance through the sections. The first module demonstrates how to deploy and configure infrastructure. You will cover techniques related to implementing workloads and security, before learning how to create and deploy apps in the next module. To build on your knowledge, the final two modules will get you up to speed with implementing authentication, data security, and application and platform monitoring, along with covering Azure storage, alerting, and automation strategies. Finally, you’ll work through exam-based mock tests with answers to boost your confidence in passing the exam. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned the concepts and techniques you need to know in order to prepare for the AZ-300 exam, along with the skills to design effective solutions on Microsoft Azure.

Understanding VNet-to-VNet

A VNet-to-VNet connection is a simple way to connect multiple VNets together. Connecting a virtual network to another virtual network is similar to creating a site-to-site IPSec connection to an on-premises environment. Both the connection types use the Azure virtual private network (VPN) gateway. The VPN gateway provides a secure IPSec/IKE tunnel, and each side of the connection communicates in the same way. The difference is in the way the local network gateway is configured.

In this chapter, we are going to create a VPN gateway to connect two VNets together using PowerShell. The VPN gateway is covered in more detail in Chapter 11, Integrating On-Premises Networks with Azure Virtual Network.

The local network gateway address space is automatically created and populated when a VNet-to-VNet connection is created. When the address space of one VNet is updated, this will result in the other VNet automatically routing the traffic to the updated address space....
