Azure ExpressRoute

Azure ExpressRoute provides secure, private cloud connections between Microsoft Azure and on-premises or colocation environments. It supports various connection types, including MPLS and VPN, allowing organizations to extend their networks directly into the cloud without traversing the public internet. This setup is designed for businesses requiring dedicated, private connectivity to Azure services.

Choose this service when you need a private, secure link to Azure rather than public internet access. Be aware that there is no free tier available for this networking solution. The pricing model is strictly pay-as-you-go, meaning costs accumulate based on usage without any initial free allowance to offset early expenses.
