With Meraki already have a vMX for Azure - what would be the benefit of doing this?

[George D]

@Philip D'Ath haven't setup any VPN to Azure yet, but maybe cost or management. at the very least its another option. It supports standard IPSEC, but it seems like it can be a one button setup with integration to the Meraki API.

I'm assuming that part of not doing this is to push the vMX.

Digging this back up, but recently Meraki was named on an Azure Virtual WAN article

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/azure-virtual-wan-multiple-capabilities-and-new-partners-now-generally-available/

Is there any information from the Meraki side as to what we can do with this?

Edit: Just found this

I see some serious points in this, first being IKEv2, second being a Beta firmware, 15.xx
