Quick Answer
The answer is to deploy Azure Virtual Network Manager to dynamically manage and enforce connectivity rules across multiple virtual networks, combined with VNet peering and Gateway Transit for secure, high-performance cross-region links. This design is correct because VNet peering connects virtual networks over Microsoft’s backbone, bypassing the public internet for low latency and high bandwidth, while Gateway Transit allows a single VPN gateway in a hub VNet to serve spoke VNets, reducing cost and complexity. On the AZ-104 exam, this scenario tests your ability to architect resilient multi-region connectivity without over-provisioning gateways—a common trap is choosing separate VPN gateways per VNet, which wastes resources and adds management overhead. Remember the memory tip: “Peering for speed, Transit for greed”—peering gives you backbone speed, and Gateway Transit lets you share a gateway so you don’t need one for every VNet.
AZ-104 Implement and Manage Virtual Networking Practice Question
This AZ-104 practice question tests your understanding of implement and manage virtual networking. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
You are designing a virtual networking solution for a critical application deployed across multiple Azure regions. You need to ensure secure, high-performance, and resilient connectivity between the virtual networks. Which four of the following options should you consider? (Choose four.)

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use VNet peering with Gateway Transit to connect the virtual networks.
VNet peering with Gateway Transit is correct because it allows virtual networks to connect through a shared VPN gateway, enabling secure and efficient cross-region communication without deploying separate gateways. This approach leverages the Azure backbone for low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity while maintaining isolation and control over routing policies.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse ExpressRoute as a solution for VNet-to-VNet connectivity, but ExpressRoute is strictly for hybrid connectivity between on-premises and Azure, not for inter-VNet traffic within Azure.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
VNet peering uses the Azure backbone infrastructure to route traffic between virtual networks with no intermediate hops, providing latency equivalent to a single VNet. Gateway Transit works by enabling a spoke VNet to use the hub VNet's VPN gateway for external connectivity, which requires the hub VNet to have a gateway and the spoke VNet to have 'Use remote gateways' enabled. Azure VPN Gateway in active-active mode deploys two active instances to ensure continuous site-to-site connectivity even if one instance fails, achieving a 99.95% SLA for gateway availability.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
An e-commerce site experiences heavy traffic on Black Friday and near-zero traffic during off-peak weeks. Rather than provisioning permanent large VMs, the team uses auto-scaling groups that add capacity automatically under load and reduce it overnight. Questions like this test whether you understand elasticity, availability zones, and cloud compute scaling patterns.
