DoIT maintains both highly-available ExpressRoute circuits and highly-available IPsec tunnels to provide connectivity between UW RFC1918 networks and Microsoft Azure.

These connections are redundant, so we will be disabling the ExpressRoute connections. The IPsec tunnels provide more bandwidth and are less expensive to maintain than the ExpressRoute connections.

This work will be transparent to the campus Azure subscriptions that are currently using ExpressRoute.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
