I want to connect two different Azure regions by using Microsoft backbone.

I dont want to use Global Vnet Peering and I want to use NAT due to address Overlap

What are the available connectivity options.

Azure NAT Gateway
Azure NAT Gateway

NAT Gateway is a fully managed service that securely routes internet traffic from a private virtual network with enterprise-grade performance and low latency.

    Hi @Anil Kumar Jakka ,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Forum.

    As I understand you have two different VNET one in each region and you wish to connect both of them. VNET's have IP overlapping.

    1. The one option is using Virtual Network Gateway (VPN gateway) with NAT Feature. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/nat-overview
    2. You can do the same with any Third-party Virtual Appliance (NVA). However, with Azure Native product like VPN gateway you get many benefits.
    3. To some extent Azure Private Link can help you, but you need to check explore the suitability of it.

    Hello Anil Kumar Jakka

    NOTE:

    • This means, you have to deploy VPN Gateways in all the Spoke VNETs
    • And also, you must consider the maximum number of connections the Hub Gateway SKU can support
    • Global VNet Peering is not suitable for overlapping IPs because it does not support NAT.
    • NAT Gateway in Azure is for outbound internet traffic only, not for VNet-to-VNet NAT.

    Additionally, you can use vWAN in scenarios where you need more than 100 S2S VPN tunnels.


    I hope this was helpful!
