The days of manually wiring up Hub-and-Spoke networks are over, but the replacement is anything but simple. We now have two heavyweights, Azure Virtual WAN (vWAN) and Azure Virtual Network Manager (AVNM), and most people are struggling to decide whether to pick a side or try to make them work together. While vWAN provides a managed, high-performance "infrastructure as a service" hub, AVNM offers the "management as a service" layer that can orchestrate connectivity across any VNet.

This session cuts through the noise to show you exactly when these services are rivals and when they are partners. We will dive into the technical "scars" of managing both: why AVNM’s connectivity groups can sometimes conflict with vWAN’s managed routing, how to handle the "split-brain" management that occurs when you use them together, and the specific architecture where vWAN provides the muscle while AVNM provides the brains.

If you are struggling to decide which architecture to bet on, this session will give you the definitive "why" and "when."
