A company wants to establish network topologies that combine cross premises connectivity with inter virtual network connectivity. Which Azure feature allows them to do this?

Azure Virtual Network Gateway

VNet peering

Correct. VNet peering allows the establishment of network topologies that combine cross premises connectivity with inter virtual network connectivity without using a virtual network gateway.

Azure Resource Manager

I expected the answer to be Azure virtual Network gateway, not vnet peering

    Hi

    Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    We understand your concern, let's break down the issue.

    Azure Virtual Network Gateway is used for connecting Azure to an on-premises network / external locations (E.g: via VPN / ExpressRoute). It doesn’t handle connections between virtual networks within Azure.

    VNet Peering, on the other hand, is designed specifically to connect virtual networks to each other inside Azure, even across regions. This makes it the right answer for combining cross-premises and inter-virtual network connectivity.

    For example, think of it this way:

    Virtual Network Gateway = Connect Azure to the outside world.
    VNet Peering = Connect networks within Azure.

    That’s why VNet Peering is the correct answer.
