Ensure that Azure Virtual network peering is connected

Description

Virtual network peering enables you to connect virtual networks in the same region and across regions (also known as Global VNet Peering) through the Azure backbone network. Once peered, the virtual networks are still managed as separate resources.When a peering configuration is deleted on one virtual network, the other virtual network will report that peering is being disconnected.
