For a Site-to-Site VPN needing 1 Gbps at lowest cost, recommend the VpnGw2 SKU because VpnGw1 tops out at about 650 Mbps
You have an on-premises network. You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table. You plan to deploy a Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN between the on-premises network and VNet1. You need to recommend an Azure VPN Gateway SKU that meets the following requirements: • Supports 1-Gbps throughput • Minimizes costs What should you recommend? -

Community Insight
The 1-Gbps requirement is the deciding constraint: it rules out both VpnGw1 SKUs. Between the two 1-Gbps SKUs, minimize cost selects VpnGw2 over VpnGw2AZ (zone redundancy adds cost without raising the throughput needed here).
A Site-to-Site VPN must sustain 1 Gbps while minimizing cost. VpnGw1 (and the zone-redundant VpnGw1AZ) max out near 650 Mbps, which does not meet the 1-Gbps requirement. VpnGw2 delivers 1 Gbps and is cheaper than VpnGw2AZ, so VpnGw2 is the cost-optimal SKU that satisfies throughput.
Candidates pick VpnGw1 to save money, but it cannot meet 1 Gbps; others pick VpnGw2AZ for redundancy, which exceeds the requirement and costs more than necessary.

Why the Answer Is Correct
The requirement is 1-Gbps S2S throughput at the lowest cost. VpnGw1 and VpnGw1AZ support only about 650 Mbps, so they fail the throughput bar. VpnGw2 provides 1 Gbps, and VpnGw2AZ also provides 1 Gbps but adds zone redundancy at higher cost. To minimize cost while meeting 1 Gbps, VpnGw2 is the correct recommendation. (Option B)Why the Other Options Are Wrong
- Option A (VpnGw1) and Option C (VpnGw1AZ) both cap near 650 Mbps and cannot satisfy the 1-Gbps requirement.
- Option D (VpnGw2AZ) meets 1 Gbps but costs more than VpnGw2; the question asks to minimize cost, so the non-AZ VpnGw2 is preferred.
