azure vpn gateway

The azure vpn gateway tag covers Microsoft’s planned retirement of the VpnGw1–VpnGw5 tiers and the transition to corresponding AZ SKUs by September 30, 2026. This archive focuses on practical migration planning for Azure VPN Gateway customers, including when to move critical, tightly governed, or architecturally changing networks manually rather than relying on automatic migration. It also highlights the need to inventory gateway dependencies, test connectivity and workloads, preserve the intended tier, and follow organizational change-control procedures. Straightforward Standard public IP gateway deployments may be suitable for Microsoft’s automatic migration path, but the tagged guidance emphasizes reviewing each environment before accepting that approach.
