Create and Configure VNet Peering in Azure

Welcome to this Azure hands-on lab. We will be creating and testing Virtual Network (VNet) peering connections, and advanced peering options. The goal of this lesson is to gain knowledge and experience with VNet peering, Gateway Transit peering mode, and VPN gateways. VNet peering is important in many scenarios. For example when your organization has resources in different regions or subscriptions. This is also used in many common Azure architecture patterns, such as Hub and Spoke. Good luck and enjoy the lab!
