VPC Reachability Analyzer and Network Access Analyzer map to Azure Network Watcher tools such as connection troubleshoot, IP flow verify, next hop, and effective security rules.
- Method. Reachability Analyzer analyzes configuration without sending packets and explains which component blocks a path. Network Watcher combines configuration checks (IP flow verify, next hop, effective rules) with active tests (connection troubleshoot, connection monitor) and packet capture.
- Audit. Network Access Analyzer checks for unintended access across your network against scopes you define. Azure has no single equivalent, so you combine Network Watcher, Azure Policy, and Defender for Cloud.
