Generally Available: Azure Virtual Network Manager in Azure China

Azure Virtual Network Manager’s connectivity, security admin, and routing configuration features are now generally available in Azure China. This enables centralized management of connectivity, security rules, and routing across subscriptions at scale and eliminates manual setup, ensuring consistent policies and visibility as your network footprint grows. 

Azure Virtual Network Manager can streamline your network connectivity management through hub-and-spoke and mesh topologies in just a few clicks. The hub-and-spoke feature establishes a central hub with attached spokes for simplified control, while mesh connectivity enables direct, low-latency communication between selected virtual networks — ideal for demanding workloads attaching to a hub virtual network or an Azure Virtual WAN.   

Azure Virtual Network Manager can also enforce your organization’s desired network policies with security admin rules, which are evaluated before network security group (NSG) rules, preventing misconfigurations and ensuring organization-wide compliance. Flow logs are also available for monitoring and troubleshooting traffic matching these security rules.  

Azure Virtual Network Manager’s routing configuration lets you define routing once and apply it automatically to multiple subnets or virtual networks, supporting scenarios like routing spoke traffic through Azure Firewall or enabling cross-hub connections.
