Simplify secure, zone-resilient outbound connectivity with Azure Firewall and StandardV2 NAT Gateway
aimeelittleton explains a recommended Azure outbound networking design that pairs Azure Firewall with StandardV2 NAT Gateway to get centralized inspection plus scalable, zone-resilient SNAT with predictable egress IPs, and shows what’s changed in the Azure portal create flow to set this up faster.
aimeelittleton explains Azure’s shift to “private subnets by default” for new VNets created with API version 2025-07-01+, what breaks (new VMs lose implicit outbound internet), and how to restore controlled egress using explicit outbound methods—especially StandardV2 NAT Gateway.
Aimee Littleton introduces the public preview of Azure StandardV2 NAT Gateway and StandardV2 public IPs, detailing new features like zone redundancy, enhanced throughput, and flow logs for increased resiliency and visibility.
