AWS Transit Gateway now Supports Inter-Region Peering in 11 additional regions

Posted on: Apr 7, 2020

AWS Transit Gateway now supports the ability to establish peering connections between Transit Gateways in 11 additional AWS Regions. Transit Gateway is a service that enables customers to connect thousands of Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs) and their on-premises networks using a single gateway. With AWS Transit Gateway, customers only have to create and manage a single connection from a central regional gateway to each Amazon VPC, on-premises data center, or remote office across their networks.

The ability to peer Transit Gateways between different AWS Regions enables customers to extend this connectivity and build global networks spanning multiple AWS Regions. Traffic using inter-region Transit Gateway peering is always encrypted and stays on the AWS global network.

Inter-region Transit Gateway peering is now available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), US West (N. California), Canada (Central), EU (Ireland), EU (Frankfurt), EU (Paris), EU (London), EU (Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and South America (Sao Paulo) AWS Regions.
