Hands-on exercise – implementing cross-region VNet connectivity using the vWAN

Here are the tasks that we will complete in this exercise:

• Task 1: Create a vWAN
• Task 2: Create a virtual hub in each VNet location in the vWAN
• Task 3: Connect the VNets to the regional virtual hubs
• Task 4: Verify effective routes on the VNets and the virtual hubs
• Task 5: Verify the connectivity between the VNets

Let’s get into it!

Task 1 – creating a vWAN

1. The first thing that we will do is create a vWAN called CharisTechVirtualWAN. A vWAN is a virtual overlay that we can use to connect cloud and hybrid networks in a seamless way. Figure 4.16 shows what our implementation will look like at the end of this task:
