Azure Networking Peering Tutorial

What is Peering?

Benefits of Azure Networking Peering

Peering allows multiple Azure regions to connect, allowing data traffic to flow between them seamlessly. This avoids the need for routing complex paths across the internet for every request.

Key Concepts

- A virtual connection between two Azure regions.

- Enables data traffic across regions with minimal latency.

Step 1: Creating a Peering Connection

- In the Azure portal, go to Resource Groups.

- Select "Peering" under the "Networking" section.

- Click "Create Peering".

- Select the two Azure regions you want to connect.

- Configure the peering settings (e.g., Public IP address, Routing).

- Click "Create Peering".

Step 2: Verification

- In the Azure portal, go to Resource Groups.

- Select "Peering" under the "Networking" section.

- Verify that the peering connection is active and the data flow is established.

Step 3: Testing

- Send a test request from one region to the other.

- Check the response time and data transfer to confirm the connection is working correctly.
