Question 5
Virtual network peering lets you connect Azure VNets using the Azure backbone network. However, there are specific requirements and limitations associated with VNet peering. Select the appropriate requirements and limitations from the list below. (Select all that apply)
-
A
It is only possible to peer Vnets present in the same region using Vnet peering. Peering Vnets from different regions is not allowed.
-
B
In a globally peered VNet, resources in one VNet cannot communicate with the front-end IP addresses of a Basic internal load balancer.
-
C
The Vnets involved in peering must have non-overlapping IP address spaces.
-
D
You can modify a Vnet's address space by adding or deleting address ranges after it is peered with another Vnet.
-
E
You can use default Azure name resolution to resolve names in Vnets that are peered with each other.

Correct answers: B, C
Explanation
Virtual network peering is a feature that allows you to connect virtual networks (Vnets) in the same or different regions using the Azure backbone network. Even after peering, the Vnets are still regarded as separate resources.
Option A is incorrect. Global VNet Peering enables you to peer into virtual networks from different regions.
Option B is correct. In a globally peered Vnet, resources in one Vnet cannot communicate with the front-end IP addresses of a Basic internal load balancer. Basic Load Balancer is only supported within the same region. However, Standard Load Balancer is supported in both Global VNet Peering and VNet Peering.
Option C is correct. The Vnets that participate in peering must have non-overlapping IP address spaces.
Option D is incorrect. Once two Vnets are peered, you cannot modify their address space by adding or deleting address ranges.
Option E is incorrect. You cannot use the default Azure name resolution to resolve names in peered Vnets.
