This service enables organizations to seamlessly extend their on-premises Layer 2 networks to Azure VMware Solution (AVS), even when their source environments are not based on VMware technologies. By bridging L2 connectivity, customers can migrate workloads, enable hybrid scenarios, or ensure application continuity across heterogeneous infrastructures without requiring complex re-IP or re-architecture efforts.

The solution leverages industry-standard network extension technologies and secure tunneling mechanisms to establish L2 adjacency between non-VMware infrastructures (such as physical servers, Hyper-V, KVM, or legacy systems) and AVS private clouds. This facilitates smooth migration, disaster recovery, testing environments, or long-term coexistence strategies.

The service includes design, deployment, and validation of the L2 extension, along with optional add-ons such as routing optimization and security policy alignment to ensure a fully operational hybrid topology.
