Veeam Powered Network v2 Azure Marketplace Deployment

Last month Veeam PN v2 went GA and was available for download and install from the (https://www.veeam.com/cloud-disaster-recovery-azure-download.html). As an update to that, we published v2 to the Azure Marketplace which is now available for deployment. As a quick refresher, Veeam PN was initially released as part of Direct Recovery to Azure and was marketed through the Azure Marketplace. In addition to that, for the initial release I went through a number of use cases for Veeam PN which are all still relevant with the release of v2:

• Remote Site Design
• Homelab Access Design
• Cloud to Cloud to Cloud Design

With the addition of WireGuard replacing OpenVPN for site-to-site connectivity the list of use cases will be expanded and the use cased above enhanced. For most of my own use of Veeam PN, I have the Hub living in an Azure Region which I connect up into where ever I am around the world. Now that the Veeam PN v2 is available from the Azure Marketplace I have created a quick deployment video that can be viewed below. For those that want a more step by step guide as a working example, you can reference (https://anthonyspiteri.net/veeam-powered-network-azure-and-remote-site-configuration/)… essentially the process is the same.

• Deploy Veeam PN Appliance from Azure Marketplace
• Perform Initial Veeam PN Configuration to connect Azure
• Configure SiteGateway and Clients

With that, there needs to be a side by side stand up of v2 and v1 to enable a configuration migration… which at the moment if a manual process.
