Setting Value Name Example: VNet1GW Region The region for the gateway must be the same as the virtual network. Gateway type Select VPN. VPN gateways use the virtual network gateway type VPN. SKU Example: VpnGw2AZ. We recommend that you select a Gateway SKU that ends in AZ if your region supports availability zones. Generation Generation 2 Virtual network Example: VNet1. If your virtual network isn't available in the dropdown, you need to adjust the region you selected. Subnet Example: 10.1.255.0/27, A subnet named GatewaySubnet is required to create a VPN gateway. If the gateway subnet doesn't autopopulate, and you don't see the option to create one on this page, go back to your virtual network page and create the gateway subnet.
