Description

Global VNet Peering is now generally available in all Azure public regions, excluding the China, Germany, and Azure Government regions.

Global VNet Peering enables resources in your virtual network to communicate directly, without gateways, extra hops, or transit over the public internet. This allows a high-bandwidth, low-latency connection across peered virtual networks in different regions.

With just a couple of clicks, you can use Global VNet Peering to share resources within a global, private network. You can then easily replicate data across regions for redundancy and disaster recovery. For more information, refer to the overview page, detailed documentation, blog, and pricing.
