Answer 1

Hello @swapnil khode,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. 

I understand you’d like to upgrade the public IP of your Azure VPN Gateway to a Standard SKU.

Microsoft has introduced a migration tool that lets you upgrade from Basic SKU to Standard SKU without changing the IP address, though it does involve a downtime (up to 10 minutes).

To check if this option is available, go to your VPN Gateway in the Azure portal → Settings → Configuration. If you see a Migrate tab,

Reference document: How to migrate a Basic SKU public IP address to Standard SKU

If the Migrate tab isn’t available, the functionality hasn’t yet rolled out to your region. In that case, the only option is to recreate the VPN Gateway.

There is an additional information regarding the deprecation timeline of Basic Public IPs and VPN Gateways here:

Answer 2

Hi Swapnil,

UPDATE: Since your VPN Gateway SKU is VpnGw1 you can use the Migrate capability in the portal to update your Basic SKU Public IP to Standard SKU Public IP.

If you navigate to your VPN Gateway and then on left it is under Settings - Configuration similar to below screenshot excerpt from documentation:
