Create a Site-to-Site VPN Connection

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will use the Azure portal to create a site-to-site (S2S) VPN gateway connection between your on-premises network and an Azure virtual network. S2S VPN connections provide secure, private connectivity between your on-premises network and Azure, allowing you to extend your on-premises network to Azure and access Azure resources as if they were on your local network.

Key Concepts

Before creating an S2S VPN connection, it's important to understand the following key concepts: * **Virtual Network:** A virtual network is a private network that you create in Azure. It provides isolation and security for your Azure resources. * **VPN Gateway:** A VPN gateway is a network appliance that creates a secure connection between your on-premises network and Azure. * **Site-to-Site VPN:** A S2S VPN connection is a type of VPN connection that establishes a secure tunnel between two or more sites.
