Overview of this book

Microsoft Azure is one of the upcoming cloud platforms that provide cost-effective solutions and services to help businesses overcome complex infrastructure-related challenges. This book will help you scale your cloud administration skills with Microsoft Azure. Learn Azure Administration starts with an introduction to the management of Azure subscriptions, and then takes you through Azure resource management. Next, you'll configure and manage virtual networks and find out how to integrate them with a set of Azure services. You'll then handle the identity and security for users with the help of Azure Active Directory, and manage access from a single place using policies and defined roles. As you advance, you'll get to grips with receipts to manage a virtual machine. The next set of chapters will teach you how to solve advanced problems such as DDoS protection, load balancing, and networking for containers. You'll also learn how to set up file servers, along with managing and storing backups. Later, you'll review monitoring solutions and backup plans for a host of services. The last set of chapters will help you to integrate different services with Azure Event Grid, Azure Automation, and Azure Logic Apps, and teach you how to manage Azure DevOps. By the end of this Azure book, you'll be proficient enough to easily administer your Azure-based cloud environment.

Creating and configuring VNet-to-VNet connection

When building different computer systems, you often have to encapsulate them inside different networks so that they are isolated from each other and possibly from external traffic; however, there are cases when two separate VNets need to be able to connect so that they can exchange communication. In the previous section, you implemented a peering between two VNets—this time, we will show you the other option for integrating them. Knowing an alternative solution may be helpful, especially with global peering, as there are some problems with load balancers in that kind of setup; such problems include being unable to communicate with some services using the frontend IP of a load balancer if the load balancer used is a basic one.

In this section, we will consider two different options:

  • VNet-to-VNet connections in the same region
  • Cross-region VNet-to-VNet connections

To get started, you will have to consider two different setups:
