🔹 Feature: Extended Network for Azure (VXLAN)

🔹 What It Does: Enables the use of the same IP network ranges both On-premises and on Azure.

What is it giving you:

✅ Simplified Network Management: No need to reconfigure IP ranges when extending your network to Azure.

✅ Seamless Connectivity: Ensures effortless communication between your on-premises systems and Azure resources.

✅ Enhanced Flexibility: Easily migrate workloads to the cloud without worrying about IP conflicts.

✅ Cost Efficiency: Reduces the overhead of complex network ⚠️ configurations and management.
