Correct Answer
Microsoft peering
Why This Answer Is Correct
Microsoft peering is used to connect to Azure PaaS services like Azure Storage, Azure SQL Database, and Microsoft 365 over the ExpressRoute circuit. Azure private peering is used strictly to connect to IaaS services (Virtual Machines and Cloud Services) in Azure VNets via private IP addresses. Azure public peering is deprecated for new circuits.
This question evaluates your knowledge of ExpressRoute — a core concept tested in Microsoft Certified: Azure Network Engineer Associate (AZ-700). Understanding ExpressRoute is essential for designing scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud architectures. Mastery of this topic will help you answer scenario-based questions confidently on exam day.
Your company has two ExpressRoute circuits: one in London and one in Tokyo, both connecting back to your global on-premises network. You want your on-premises network in London to communicate directly with your on-premises network in Tokyo by utilizing the Microsoft backbone. Which feature enables this?
You have an ExpressRoute circuit connected to a virtual network gateway. You notice high latency between your on-premises servers and Azure VMs because traffic is being processed by the virtual network gateway. How can you bypass the gateway and send traffic directly to the VMs?
