Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies: Exam Guide AZ-300

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 peering

VNet peering is a mechanism that seamlessly connects two VNets in the same region through the Azure backbone infrastructure. Once peered, the VNets appear as one for connectivity purposes, just like routing traffic between virtual machines (VMs) that are created in the same VNet. The VMs that reside in the peered VNets communicate with each other using private IP addresses. VNet peering is the easiest and most effective way to connect two VNets together.

Azure supports the following two different types of peering:

  • VNet peering: This is used for connecting VNets in the same Azure region.
  • Global VNet peering: This is used for connecting VNets across different Azure regions.

The network traffic between peered VNets is private. The traffic is kept on the Microsoft backbone network completely, so there is no need to use any additional gateways or to route traffic over the public internet. There is also no encryption required in the communication between the peered...
