This post will show you how to create a Site-to-Site VPN gateway using Azure. And I will not just stop at creating it, I will also show a test sample of the connection working. Yes, that’s how I roll, you have to see what you’re configuring working in real-time. Things to consider before creating a site-to-site VPN: If you’re unfamiliar with the IP address ranges located in your on-premises network configuration, you need to coordinate with someone who can provide those details for you. When you create this configuration, you must specify the IP address range prefixes that Azure will route to your on-premises location. None of the subnets of your on-premises network can overlap with the virtual network subnets that you want to connect to.

Over the years there have different ways files are shared and how access is given to people. One of the popular ways of sharing files has been mapping drives from servers to domain-joined computers in the organization. I will be showing how files can be shared using Azure File Sync making the files to be highly available across the organization. The files are automatically replicated on the server to a central Azure storage location, allowing cloud tiering which allows files that are not often used to be moved from on-premises to Azure Storage while the frequently accessed files are cached on the local server and the amount of local disk space used for caching can be controlled. Administrators continue to support local data access and permissions.
