Compliance Frameworks

Description

A VPN gateway is a type of virtual network gateway that sends encrypted traffic between your virtual network and your on-premises location across a public connection. Production workloads need to be monitored and should have an SLA with Microsoft. These capabilities will not be available when using Basic SKUs for any deployed product.

  • Recommended Mitigation

    It is recommended to upgrade the basic Azure Virtual Network Gateway. Please note that the Basic SKU is a legacy SKU and has feature limitations. In order to move from Basic to another SKU, you must delete the Basic SKU VPN gateway and create a new gateway with the desired Generation and SKU size combination.
