1. Why We Need This Use Case
VNet-to-VNet gateway connections allow for secure and reliable communication between Azure Virtual Networks across different Azure regions. This setup is essential for scenarios requiring encrypted and robust inter-region connectivity for data synchronization, disaster recovery, or distributed applications. Using VNet gateways enhances network isolation while providing a standardized approach to interconnect VNets, supporting complex network topologies.
2. When We Need This Use Case
When connecting VNets across multiple regions to ensure data remains synchronized and applications remain operational despite geographical distribution.
In scenarios where enhanced security between distributed network segments is necessary.
For implementing disaster recovery strategies that involve replicating resources across regions to minimize downtime and data loss.
When integrating systems that require consistent internal network connectivity without exposure to the public internet.
3. Prerequisites for the Lab
An active Azure account.
Basic understanding of Azure Virtual Networks, VPN Gateway, and network routing.
Azure CLI or access to the Azure portal.
Permissions to create and manage VNets, subnets, VPN gateways, and VMs within Azure.
