Azure – It is possible to establish a VM-to-VM connection between Azure virtual machines

azurenetworkingvirtual-machines

How should I create and configure Azure virtual machines to allow VM-to-VM connections?

  • It is possible to connect using the private ip?
  • Do I need a Azure Virtual Network?

Basically I need to run some applications on each VM that need to talk to the other instances on the same azure subscription using TCP connection.

For now the only solution that I have found is to add the required endpoints and access the virtual machine using its public ip. There isn't a way to connect using the private ip? In this way it should be faster and with slow latency right?

thanks

VMs in the same Cloud Service can connect to each-other out of the box. You can connect to a VM in the same Cloud Service via its hostname.

Please see here for a detailed description.

So all you need to do is to make sure that your VMs are in the same Cloud Service.
