Introduction to Azure Stack Hub networking
Azure Stack Hub provides different kinds of networking capabilities that can be used together or separately:
- Connectivity between Azure Stack Hub resources: Connect Azure resources together in a secure and private virtual network in the cloud.
- Internet connectivity: Communicate to and from Azure Stack Hub resources over the internet.
- On-premises connectivity: Connect an on-premises network to Azure Stack Hub resources through a virtual private network (VPN) over the internet, or through a dedicated connection to Azure Stack Hub.
Important
You must create a VPN or public IP connection in order to access on-premises resources.
- Load balancing and traffic direction: Load balance traffic to servers in the same location and direct traffic to servers in different locations.
- Security: Filter network traffic between network subnets or individual VMs.
- Routing: Use default routing or fully control routing between your Azure Stack Hub and on-premises resources.
- Manageability: Monitor and manage your Azure Stack Hub networking resources.
- Deployment and configuration tools: Use a web-based portal or cross-platform command-line tools to deploy and configure network resources.
Azure Stack Hub does not offer support for IPv6 and there are no roadmap items to provide support.
