Summary and resources
In this module, you learned Azure Virtual Network peering lets you connect virtual networks in a hub and spoke topology. You learned how to configure your virtual networks with Azure VPN Gateway for transit connectivity. You explored how to extend peering with user-defined routes and service chaining.
The main takeaways from this module are:
Azure Virtual Network peering allows for the connection of virtual networks in a hub and spoke topology.
There are two types of peering: regional and global. Regional peering connects virtual networks in the same region. Global peering connects virtual networks in different regions.
Network traffic between peered virtual networks is private and kept on the Azure backbone network.
You can configure Azure VPN Gateway in the peered virtual network as a transit point to access resources in another network.
Network security groups can be applied to block or allow access between virtual networks when configuring virtual network peering.
