Understanding Azure hybrid network connection options

Hybrid networks connect on-premises networks and remote users to Azure VNet resources. Azure hybrid network connectivity is powered by the Azure Virtual Network Gateway service. The service supports two types of gateway – the Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway and the ExpressRoute gateway (Figure 5.1).
This chapter focuses on the VPN gateway option. We will cover the ExpressRoute gateway option in the next chapter.

Understanding the Azure VPN gateway

As mentioned earlier, the Azure VPN gateway is one of the gateway options supported by the Azure Virtual Network Gateway service. The VPN gateway type supports the following hybrid connection options:
  • Site-to-site (S2S) VPN connection over IPsec (IKE v1 and IKE v2): This option can be used to connect a remote network or multiple remote networks to an Azure VNet. This option relies...
