Azure Portal: Virtual Network Peering
Introduction
Virtual network peering enables you to seamlessly connect two Azurvirtual networks. Once peered, the virtual networks appear as one, for connectivity purposes. The traffic between virtual machines in the peered virtual networks is routed through the Microsoft backbone infrastructure, much like traffic is routed between virtual machines in the same virtual network, throughprivate IP addresses only. Azure supports:
- VNet peering - connecting VNets within the same Azure region
- Global VNet peering - connecting VNets across Azure regions

Steps
Step 1: Virtual networking
I have posted my previous article to “Create a virtual network & virtual machine by using the Azure portal” **please refer this **link . Continuing that this article we are going to learn about vnet peering across azure regions.
Step 2: Log in
Log in to Microsoft azure ( https://portal.azure.com) portal with your credential
Step 3: Go to VMs
Click on the https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/site/view/file/216050/1/2_1.png button in the left side blade.

Note: every vm in azure interally it will get connected through by private IP’s only
if you want allow people to connect the vm through RDP , make sure while creating vm you have selected “Allow selected ports” option in pulic inbound section.** please refer this **link to more details to creating the vm.

Step 7: Peering
Click on the https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/site/view/file/216062/1/2_12.png button and then clik on https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/site/view/file/216063/1/2_13.png the button to create new peering
Enter the name ,select virtual network and click on the https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/site/view/file/216064/1/2_14.png button.
