https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/azure/use-azure-network-adapterTo connect an on-premises server named Server1 to an Azure virtual network that contains an Azure virtual network gateway, you can use either a Site-to-Site VPN or Azure Network Adapter.
A Site-to-Site VPN creates a secure connection between the on-premises network and the Azure virtual network through the internet. It allows the on-premises server to communicate with resources on the virtual network over an encrypted connection. This is a commonly used solution for organizations that need to connect their on-premises infrastructure to their Azure virtual network.
Azure Network Adapter is a feature that allows a Windows Server to connect to an Azure virtual network directly from the server's network settings, without requiring a VPN or other connectivity solution. This feature is currently in preview and requires the Azure Network Adapter extension to be installed on the server. Azure Network Adapter uses the Point-to-Site VPN technology to connect the server to the virtual network over an encrypted connection.
Option C, an ExpressRoute circuit, is not suitable for connecting a single on-premises server to an Azure virtual network. ExpressRoute is designed for organizations that require a dedicated, private connection between their on-premises infrastructure and their Azure resources. This solution typically involves a high-speed, dedicated connection from the organization's data center to an Azure location, such as an Azure ExpressRoute location or a network service provider.
Option D, Azure Extended Network, is not a feature or solution offered by Microsoft Azure.
Therefore, the correct answer is either A, a Site-to-Site VPN or B, Azure Network Adapter, depending on the specific requirements and preferences of the organization.
