In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up a secure site-to-site VPN connection between your on-premises network and Azure VMware Solution. This powerful integration allows you to seamlessly extend your local infrastructure into the Azure cloud, enabling hybrid scenarios and providing a reliable, high-performance connection.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:

  • A public-facing IP address for your on-premises VPN device.
  • Familiarity with Azure Virtual WAN and its components, including virtual hubs and VPN gateways.

Create an Azure Virtual WAN

The first step is to create an Azure Virtual WAN, which will serve as the foundation for our site-to-site VPN connection. Follow these steps:

[!INCLUDE Create a virtual WAN]

Create a Virtual Hub

Within the Azure Virtual WAN, we’ll need to create a virtual hub, which is a virtual network that will host the site-to-site VPN gateway and the Azure VMware Solution ExpressRoute gateway.

[!INCLUDE Create a hub]

Create a VPN Gateway

Next, we’ll create a VPN gateway within the virtual hub to facilitate the site-to-site VPN connection.

Create a Site-to-Site VPN

With the virtual hub and VPN gateway in place, we can now create the site-to-site VPN connection between your on-premises network and the Azure VMware Solution endpoint.

(Optional) Create Policy-Based VPN Site-to-Site Tunnels

If you require a policy-based VPN setup, you can follow these additional steps:

[!INCLUDE Create policy-based VPN site-to-site tunnels]

Connect Your VPN Site to the Hub

The final step is to connect your on-premises VPN site to the virtual hub, establishing the secure site-to-site VPN tunnel.

[!INCLUDE Connect your VPN site to the hub]

By following these steps, you’ve successfully set up a reliable and secure site-to-site VPN connection between your on-premises network and Azure VMware Solution. This integration enables seamless communication, data transfer, and hybrid scenarios, allowing you to leverage the power of the Azure cloud while maintaining control over your local infrastructure.
