At Ignite, Microsoft has announced that we can use Global VNet Peering to peer virtual networks across Azure regions. Today, Microsoft has expanded its supporting regions — enabling direct VM-to-VM connectivity without any public internet involvement or any extra hops.
With just a few clicks, we can use Global VNet Peering to connect virtual networks across Azure regions to share resources or create a global, private peered virtual network. This enables a variety of scenarios such as data replication, disaster recovery, and database failover through private IPs alone.
You can now peer across the following regions:
- Korea South
- UK South
- UK West
- Canada East
- India South
- India Central
- India West
The new regions add to the previously announced regions:
- US West Central
- Canada Central
- US West 2
