In the previous chapter, we covered the third part of the Implementing Workloads and Security objective. We covered how to implement application load balancing by learning how to configure an application gateway, load balancing rules, and more.

This chapter continues with this objective by covering how to integrate your on-premises network with an Azure Virtual Network. In this chapter, we are going to focus on VPN connections from your on-premises environment to Azure and from Azure to Azure as well. You will learn how to create an Azure VPN gateway, as well as how to configure a Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN using an on-premises server and the Azure VPN gateway. At the end of this chapter, we are going to look at how to manage on-premises connectivity with Azure.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

• Understanding Azure VPN gateway
• Creating and configuring an Azure VPN gateway
• Creating and configuring the S2S VPN
• Verifying on-premises connectivity
