Azure local gateway

Local network gateways represent the configuration of your local firewall environment. Within a local network gateway, you configure the public IP of your firewall device as well as the IP spaces you manage within a local environment. The following screenshot shows the Azure service you need to look for when you want to implement an Azure local network gateway:

The following screenshot shows you how to configure a local network gateway:

Currently, it is not possible to work with DNS entries or dynamic public IPs. Azure is also not supporting IPv6 within the environment as a local network gateway at the present time. So you definitely need a public IPv4 IP for your production environment. That may change in the near future when the IPv6 deployment is moving on in Azure.

There is an option to work with dynamic public IPs but I only recommend that for test environments or home labs. You can use a dynamic DNS provider such as DynDNS to collect your changing IP address. Afterwards, you can recreate your Azure local gateway with the newly obtained IP. MVP Florent Appointaire wrote a little script for the Azure Resource Manager to configure to help you with that; please refer to https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Update-AzureRM-S2S-VPN-c46cc39e.
