az-700 Practice Question 2026
Exam: az-700
Domain: Secure network connectivity to Azure resources
Topic: Design and implement virtual network peering security
Difficulty: medium
When designing a network that requires secure and efficient traffic routing between two VNs in different regions, but also needs to maintain low latency and high performance, which configuration would you recommend?
Answer Options
A
Configure gateway transit with a VNet gateway in each region.
B
Set up virtual network peering between the VNs.
C
Deploy an NVA in both VNs to control traffic flow.
D
Use remote gateways to establish a connection between the VNs.
Correct Answer
B: Set up virtual network peering between the VNs.
Explanation
Virtual network peering provides a direct connection between VNs, reducing latency and improving performance compared to using gateways or remote connections. Gateway transit involves using a gateway in one VN to route traffic to another VN, which can introduce additional latency. Remote gateways use a VNet gateway to connect VNets across regions, which may not provide the same level of performance as direct peering. An NVA can be used for additional security but does not replace the need for peering or gateways for direct VN communication. Therefore, virtual network peering is the best choice for maintaining low latency and high performance.
