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.
- A virtual connection between two Azure regions.
- Enables data traffic across regions with minimal latency.
- 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".
- 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.
- Send a test request from one region to the other.
- Check the response time and data transfer to confirm the connection is working correctly.
Azure networking peering is a crucial component of building resilient and scalable cloud applications.
