As a top-level Azure resource, virtual network routing appliance integrates with Azure's management model, so you can deploy, configure, and govern it using familiar Azure tools and processes. You deploy the appliance in a dedicated subnet within your virtual network, where it acts as a high-bandwidth forwarding layer for routed traffic.
