A. B.

Correct Answer: A

Connecting a virtual network (VNet) to another VNet is similar to connecting a VNet to an on-premises site location.

In both types of connectivity, a VPN gateway is used to provide a secure tunnel using IPsec/IKE.The Virtual networks that you connect can be: in the different or same subscriptions.

in the different or same regions.

in the different or same deployment models.

Yes, you can connect two virtual networks in different regions using an IPsec/IKE S2S VPN tunnel.

Site-to-site (S2S) VPN enables you to establish secure connectivity between two virtual networks in different regions over the internet. The communication between these two virtual networks is encrypted, and the data is transmitted securely over the tunnel.

To create a site-to-site VPN connection, you need to configure a VPN gateway in each virtual network. The VPN gateway acts as an endpoint for the VPN connection and is responsible for handling the traffic between the virtual networks.

To configure a site-to-site VPN connection between two virtual networks, you need to perform the following steps:

  1. Create a virtual network gateway in each virtual network.
  2. Configure the IPsec/IKE settings for the VPN connection.
  3. Configure the local network gateway settings.
  4. Create the VPN connection.

Once the VPN connection is established, the two virtual networks can communicate securely with each other. It is important to note that there may be additional steps required depending on the specific configuration requirements of your virtual networks.
