Core Functionality
- VPN Gateway Creation: Create a VPN gateway in the Azure portal. Choose the appropriate gateway SKU based on your performance and throughput requirements. Configure the gateway for site-to-site, point-to-site, or VNet-to-VNet connections as needed.
- Site-to-Site Connection: Set up a site-to-site VPN connection to connect your on-premises network to your Azure virtual network. This involves configuring an IPsec/IKE VPN tunnel between your on-premises VPN device and the Azure VPN gateway.
- Point-to-Site Connection: Enable point-to-site VPN connections to allow individual client devices to securely connect to your Azure virtual network from remote locations. Configure the VPN gateway to support OpenVPN, SSTP, or IKEv2 protocols.
- VNet-to-VNet Connection: Establish VNet-to-VNet connections to securely connect multiple Azure virtual networks. This is useful for scenarios where you have resources spread across different virtual networks that need to communicate securely.
- ExpressRoute Integration: Use Azure VPN Gateway as a secure failover path for ExpressRoute connections. This ensures that your connectivity remains intact even if the primary ExpressRoute connection experiences issues.
- Monitoring and Management: Use Azure Monitor to track the performance and health of your VPN connections. Set up alerts to notify you of any issues, ensuring proactive management of your hybrid connectivity solution.
