By adding support for<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/availability-zones\/az-overview\"> Azure Availability Zones<\/a>, we bring increased resiliency, scalability, and higher availability to virtual network gateways.<\/p>\n<p>You can now deploy VPN and ExpressRoute gateways in Azure Availability Zones. This physically and logically separates them into different Availability Zones protecting your on-premises network connectivity to Azure from zone-level failures. Additionally, we have made fundamental performance improvements including reducing the deployment time to create a virtual network gateway.<\/p>\n<p>To automatically deploy your virtual network gateways across availability zones, you can use zone-redundant virtual network gateways.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Your virtual network\" height=\"952\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/359d74cf-0848-4815-95a1-2e4e13ebe3f8.webp\" title=\"Your virtual network\" width=\"1873\"><\/p>\n<p>Zone-redundant virtual network gateways use specific new gateway SKUs for VPN Gateway and ExpressRoute. To begin using zone-redundant, you can self-enroll your subscription in the public preview. Once you enroll, you will start seeing the new gateway SKUs in all the Azure Availability Zone regions. See the <a href=\"https:\/\/go.microsoft.com\/fwlink\/?linkid=875310\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">getting started<\/a> guide for steps to self-enroll, to view information about the new gateway SKUs, and for configuration information.<\/p>\n<p>The new gateway SKUs also support other deployment options to best match your needs. When creating a virtual network gateway using the new gateway SKUs, you also have the option to deploy the gateway in a specific zone. This is referred to as a zonal gateway. When you deploy a zonal gateway, all the instances of the gateway are deployed in the same Availability Zone.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to you trying out the new gateways, and to receiving your precious feedback!<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As with all of Azure, we are continuously innovating, upgrading, and refining our virtual network gateways to further increase reliability and availability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ms_queue_id":[],"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_classifai_error":"","_classifai_text_to_speech_error":"","_alt_title":"","footnotes":"","msx_community_cta_settings":[]},"categories":[1466,1457],"tags":[],"audience":[3053,3056],"content-type":[],"product":[1563,333],"tech-community":[],"topic":[],"coauthors":[464],"class_list":["post-2581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hybrid-multicloud","category-networking","audience-it-decision-makers","audience-it-implementors","product-application-gateway","product-expressroute"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>New zone-redundant VPN and ExpressRoute gateways now in public preview | Microsoft Azure Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As with all of Azure, we are continuously innovating, upgrading, and refining our virtual network gateways to further increase reliability and availability.
