Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) provides customers with tremendous flexibility in how corporate networks can be connected to one or more VPCs. Customers can connect multiple customer gateways (CGW) to a single VPC virtual private gateway (VGW) or can connect a single router to multiple VPC VGWs. This document describes two approaches when connecting a single customer router to multiple VPCs.

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) provides customers with tremendous network routing flexibility. This document describes how a customer can create a secure SSL tunnel (using OpenVPN) to connect multiple VPCs into a larger virtual private network that allows instances in each VPC to seamlessly connect to each other using private IP addresses.

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) provides customers with tremendous network routing flexibility. This document describes how a customer can create a secure IPSec tunnel to connect a corporate network with VPC using an on-premise Cisco ASA with an Amazon Linux Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance.

To achieve a higher level of availability and redundancy, Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers can deploy their applications and services across multiple regions. While it is simple for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances to communicate with each other across regions over the Internet, enabling cross-region communication within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environment requires additional configuration. While AWS current does not provide an end-to-end, cross-region VPC connectivity solution, customers can achieve this on their own with third-party virtual private network (VPN) solutions. This whitepaper describes how customers can leverage the Astaro Security Gateway Amazon Machine Image (AMI) to establish cross-region VPC connections between EC2 instances in one region and a VPC virtual private gateway (VGW) in another region.
