Thank you for your answer MSDennis
I solved my design problem. The result in the following diagram.
Although it is possible to use vWAN, it seemed possible to use Azure Route Server, by making coexist a VPN connection and ExpressRoute connection.

Dec 13, 2021Olivier-IT Azure Route Server is the core component also used in VWAN. VWAN, it being managed as a service all together provides redundancy for all of the GW services it provides (except for Azure Firewall) out of the box across AZs in the region. There is nothing you need to setup to get that redundancy therefore.
If you add everything up (VPN GW across AZ (specific type), Route server and High performance ExR GW) and compare that to VWAN you will find that the latter is also cheaper for the customer.
Pricing and redundancy out of the box therefore makes VWAN the preferred way forward. I have not even mentioned future expansion capabilities.
Hope this is useful.
