Design Outbound Connectivity

Virtual Network NAT (Network Address Translation) simplifies outbound-only Internet connectivity for virtual networks. When configured on a subnet, all outbound connectivity uses your specified static public IP addresses. NAT is fully managed and highly resilient.

Design Outbound Connectivity.

Options include:

  • Azure Firewall.
  • Load Balancer.
  • Virtual Network NAT Gateway.

Choose Virtual Network NAT Gateway when:

  • You need on-demand outbound to Internet connectivity without pre-allocation.
  • You need one or more static public IP addresses for scale.
  • You need configurable idle timeout.
  • You need TCP reset for unrecognized connections.
