Can I use Azure Firewall for IDS capabilities between On-Prem and Azure VNETs?

Question

The scenario I'm inquiring about is this:

On-Prem end of Expressroute circuit=>Azure end of Expressroute circuit=>Expressroute VNET Gateway=>Azure Firewall NVA=>Azure VNETs

Note - the Expressroute circuit has been up an running without issue for months. I'm just asking about inserting the Azure Firewall inline, so that we can have IDS capabilities.

Thanks

This should be fine- I’m running the Azure Firewall between the on-prem connection and the Azure VNETs, essentially using it as a data centre-perimeter firewall.

There is an example architecture provided by Microsoft which uses this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/reference-architectures/dmz/secure-vnet-dmz
