Virtual WAN partners, regions, and virtual hub locations

  • Article

This article provides information on Virtual WAN supported regions and partners for connectivity into a Virtual WAN hub.

There are two types of offerings that make connecting to Azure easier:

  • Branch IPsec connectivity automation: Customers can automatically configure and connect their branch devices to the Azure Virtual WAN Site-to-site VPN gateway using IPsec tunnels. These configurations are typically set up in the device-management UI (or equivalent).

Branch IPsec connectivity automation from partners

Devices that connect to Azure Virtual WAN have built-in automation to connect. This is typically set up in the device-management UI (or equivalent), which sets up the connectivity and configuration management between the VPN branch device to an Azure Virtual hub VPN endpoint (VPN gateway).

The following high-level automation is set up in the device console/management center:

  • Appropriate permissions for the device to access Azure Virtual WAN Resource Group.
  • Uploading of Branch Device into Azure Virtual WAN.
  • Automatic download of Azure connectivity information.
  • Configuration of on-premises branch device.

Some connectivity partners may extend the automation to include creating the Azure Virtual hub VNet and VPN gateway. If you want to know more about automation, see Automation guidelines for Virtual WAN partners.
