Hey
Apurva Pathak
So, about Azure Firewall and Virtual Network Gateway whether you need one depends on what you're up to. If you're just playing around with hub-and-spoke in Azure for communication within virtual networks, you might not need a Virtual Network Gateway. Just let the Azure Firewall do its thing in controlling and inspecting the traffic between your spoke networks.
But, if you're thinking bigger and need to connect your Azure network to the outside other networks, that's when you bring in the Virtual Network Gateway. It helps you manage the traffic going in and out of Azure. Even with the Gateway, you can still keep the Azure Firewall in the mix to secure traffic between your spokes.
Routing is like giving directions to your traffic, right? You can set up Azure Route Tables to guide the flow within your virtual network. Associate them with your subnets and define your routes. This way, whether you go with or without the Gateway, you're in control.
Hope this helps if it did kindly accept the answer thanks much.

Hi all, Hope you are doing well!
Do I need to deploy a Virtual Network Gateway for spoke hub connectivity even if I deploy an Azure Firewall. If yes, how the routing will happen?
Thanks
