The VPN device in your Azure virtual network and used with site-to-site and VNet-to-VNet VPN connections.

A virtual network gateway is the software VPN device for your Azure virtual network. Use this with a connection to set up a site-to-site VPN connection between an Azure virtual network and your local network, or a VNet-to-VNet VPN connection between two Azure virtual networks. It can also be used to connect a virtual network to an ExpressRoute circuit.

Microsoft Azure provides a 99.9% uptime SLA for virtual network gateways.
