Amazon VPC Ingress Routing Now Supports AWS CloudFormation

Posted on: Jan 21, 2020

You can now create AWS CloudFormation templates to provision and configure Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) ingress routing infrastructures predictably and repeatedly. Amazon VPC ingress routing allows you to route ingress and egress traffic to and from internet gateways and virtual private gateways through networking and security virtual appliances in your VPCs. 

AWS CloudFormation allows you to model Amazon VPC ingress routing infrastructure in a single template file. This includes the creation of workloads, virtual appliances, internet gateway and/or virtual private gateway, as well as the configuration of routes for VPC traffic flow between these resources. Once developed, you can reuse the same template to replicate this infrastructure across AWS environments.  

AWS CloudFormation support for Amazon VPC ingress routing is available in all AWS commercial and GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more about Amazon VPC ingress routing, please read about gateway route tables in our documentation. For more information about AWS CloudFormation, refer to the user guide here.
