Introduction

For production environments, it is advisable to use a hub and spoke network configuration, with the firewall placed in a dedicated virtual network. The workload servers should reside in virtual networks that are peered with the hub virtual network containing the firewall., configure the NAT gateway directly on the Azure Firewall subnet.In this setup, the NAT gateway can facilitate outbound connectivity from the hub virtual network to all peered spoke virtual networks.

Terraform is a powerful infrastructure-as-code tool that allows you to define, provision, and manage cloud infrastructure in a consistent and version-controlled way.
