AVS VMs outbound Internet

Question

Hello Experts,

When internet connectivity is enabled on the AVS private cloud to connect VMs to the internet does the traffic passing through ExpressRoute Global Reach or does it directly egressed out of AVS?

Answer 1

anonymous user Apologies for delay in response and all the inconvenience caused because of the issue.

AVS shares default public edge with it’s parent Azure Region.Default route will arrive into ESXi and SDDC via Regional underlay and follow dark fiber out to MSFT global edge.

AVS public IPs are carved out of Azure Regional Public IPs block I think. If not then MSFT public IPs for that region.If you want Internet to follow Global Reach you must first plumb default route from your corporate edge over ExR, then enable 0.0.0.0 support on Global Reach to AVS which is supported.

This is text-book “Forced Tunnel” approach.

This should be radio button in portal now for self-serve. If not then email to AVS support to enable.

Hope it helps!!!
