Hands-On Azure Labs: Building Redundant Cloud Solutions

Lab Overview

In this lab, you will establish virtual network (vNet) peering between your vNet-West and vNet-East. By enabling secure, high-speed connectivity between these two networks, your resources in the West US and East US regions will be able to communicate as though they were part of a single, unified network. vNet peering is an essential step in laying the groundwork for cross-region accessibility and centralized management of your Azure environment.

Learning Objectives

By completing this lab, you will be able to:

• • Understand how Azure vNet peering provides secure, private connections across different virtual networks.
  • Configure vNet peering settings to allow mutual communication between vNet-West and vNet-East.
  • Validate connectivity and confirm that resources in each region can securely communicate with each other.
  • Prepare your environment for centralized services (like Azure Bastion) that can serve multiple networks via a single deployment.

Exam Relevance

This lab covers concepts aligned with:

• • AZ-104 (Azure Administrator): Demonstrates your ability to implement and manage Azure networking, including vNet configurations and peering.
  • AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect): Reinforces your understanding of designing secure and scalable multi-region Azure network solutions.
