Azure Virtual Network Manager is now generally available in
Azure US Government Cloud, providing unified control for connectivity,
security, and routing across subscriptions, regions, and tenants. By automating
configurations, it guarantees consistent policy and visibility as your network
environment expands.
With Azure Virtual Network Manager, you can simplify network
connectivity management using hub‑and‑spoke or mesh topologies in just a
few clicks. The hub‑and‑spoke model creates a central hub
with spokes for streamlined networking traffic, whereas mesh connectivity
allows selected VNets to communicate directly without impacting latency. This
is useful for performance‑sensitive workloads connected to
either a hub virtual network or an Azure Virtual WAN.
Azure Virtual Network Manager also lets you apply your
organization’s network policies through security admin rules that are processed
before any NSG rules. This pre‑evaluation prevents
misconfigurations and enforces compliance company‑wide. Additionally, virtual
network flow logs are available to monitor and troubleshoot traffic governed by
these policies.
The user‑defined route (UDR) management in
Azure Virtual Network Manager enables you to define routes once and deploy them
automatically across multiple subnets or virtual networks. This capability
supports use cases such as directing spoke traffic through Azure Firewall or
authorizing cross‑hub connections according to your approved
architecture.
