Hands-on exercise – implementing an ExpressRoute gateway

Here are the tasks that we will complete in this exercise:

• Task 1 – create a VNet and gateway subnet
• Task 2 – deploy the ExpressRoute VNet gateway service
• Task 3 – create and provision an ExpressRoute circuit
• Task 4 – retrieve your service key (you need to send this to your SP)
• Task 5 – check serviceProviderProvisioningState status
• Task 6 – connect the ExpressRoute gateway to the ExpressRoute circuit
• Task 7 – deprovision an ExpressRoute circuit
• Task 8 – clean up resources

Let’s get into this!

Task 1 – create a VNet and gateway subnet

To implement an ExpressRoute gateway, the first thing to do is to create a VNet with a gateway subnet called GatewaySubnet (the subnet cannot be named anything else). Also, this must be a dedicated subnet, which means no other resource should be deployed into it apart from...
