Azure lab-Connecting two region using Virtual Network Gateway
In this lab, we will configure Virtual Network Gateway connectivity between East US and West Europe and test connectivity
High-Level Tasks | Sub-tasks |
Create VNET in each region with required subnet | Create a resource group, create VNET in each region and map to the correct resource group, create a compute and gateway subnets |
Add VMs part of the VNET subnet | Create VMs and assign VM to the correct VNET subnet |
Create VNET Gateway for both regions VNET | Create VNET gateway with appropriate VPN type, map to VNETS, and correct subnets, create a public subnet for VNG |
Connect Virtual Network Gateway | Assign a connection name, select the source and destination virtual network gateways |
Verify that the connection and test connectivity | Enter “connections” in the search resources and verify both connections shows as connected |

A VPN gateway is a specific type of VNet gateway that is used to send traffic between an Azure virtual network and an on-premises location over the public internet. And as shown in this lab, you can also use a VPN gateway to send traffic between VNets. However please note that each VNet can have only one VPN gateway.
