Creating a VNet-to-VNet connection

Similar to the need to connect Azure VNets to resources on a local network, we may have the need to connect to resources in another Azure VNet. In such cases, we can create a VNet-to-VNet connection that will allow us to use services and endpoints in another VNet. This process is very similar to creating a Site-to-Site connection; the difference is that we don't require a local network gateway. Instead, we use two virtual network gateways, one for each VNet.

Getting ready

Before you start, open your browser and go to the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com.

How to do it...

To create a VNet-to-VNet connection, we must follow these steps:

  1. In the Azure portal, locate one of the virtual network gateways (associated with one of the VNets you are trying to connect to).
  2. In the Virtual network gateway pane, select Connections and select Add to add a new connection:
