Quickstart samples

The following quickstart samples deploy this resource type.

Bicep File Description
Create a BGP VNET to VNET connection This template allows you to connect two VNETs using Virtual Network Gateways and BGP
Site-to-Site VPN with active-active VPN Gateways with BGP This template allows you to deploy a site-to-site VPN between two VNets with VPN Gateways in configuration active-active with BGP. Each Azure VPN Gateway resolves the FQDN of the remote peers to determine the public IP of the remote VPN Gateway. Template runs as expected in Azure regions with availability zones.

Quickstart templates

The following quickstart templates deploy this resource type.

Template Description
BOSH CF Cross Region

Deploy to Azure		 This template helps you setup the resources needed to deploy BOSH and Cloud Foundry across two regions on Azure.
Connect an ExpressRoute circuit to a VNET

Deploy to Azure		 This template creates a VNET, an ExpresRoute Gateway and a connection to a provisioned and enabled ExpressRoute circuit with AzurePrivatePeering configured.
Create a BGP VNET to VNET connection

Deploy to Azure		 This template allows you to connect two VNETs using Virtual Network Gateways and BGP
Create a Site-to-Site VPN Connection

Deploy to Azure		 This template allows you to create a Site-to-Site VPN Connection using Virtual Network Gateways
Create a Site-to-Site VPN Connection with VM

Deploy to Azure		 This template allows you to create a Site-to-Site VPN Connection using Virtual Network Gateways
Create a VNET to VNET connection across two regions

Deploy to Azure		 This template allows you to connect two VNETs in different regions using Virtual Network Gateways
Create three vNets to demonstrate transitive BGP connections

Deploy to Azure		 This template deploys three vNets connected using Virtual Network Gateways and BGP-enabled connections
Deploy HBase geo replication

Deploy to Azure		 This template allows you to configure an Azure environment for HBase replication across two different regions with VPN vnet-to-vnet connection.
Extend an existing Azure VNET to a Multi-VNET Configuration

Deploy to Azure		 This template allows you to extend an existing single VNET environment to a Multi-VNET environment that extends across two datacenter regions using VNET-to-VNET gateways
Site-to-Site VPN with active-active VPN Gateways with BGP

Deploy to Azure		 This template allows you to deploy a site-to-site VPN between two VNets with VPN Gateways in configuration active-active with BGP. Each Azure VPN Gateway resolves the FQDN of the remote peers to determine the public IP of the remote VPN Gateway. Template runs as expected in Azure regions with availability zones.
VPN Custom IPSec Policy

Deploy to Azure		 This custom IPSec Policy allows more granular configuration of the IKE Parameters. This allows you to deploy a site-to-site VPN Policy to support specific settings on your VPN Endpoit Device.
