Starting today, Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) customers can use AWS Transit Gateway Flow Logs in five additional AWS regions: Middle East (UAE), Europe (Zurich), Europe (Spain), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), and Asia Pacific (Melbourne).
AWS Transit Gateway Flow Logs allow you to export detailed telemetry information such as source/destination IP addresses, ports, protocol, traffic counters, timestamps and various metadata. AWS Transit Gateway Flow Logs provide you with an AWS native tool to centrally export and inspect flow-level telemetry for all network traffic that is traversing between Amazon VPCs and your on-premises networks via your AWS Transit Gateway.
AWS Transit Gateway enables you to connect thousands of Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and your on-premises networks using a single gateway. With Transit Gateway Flow logs, you are able to gain flow-level insights from one central point in your network(s) using a single AWS account. This capability provides you with flow-level visibility for traffic across AWS regions over Transit gateway peering connections as well as your traffic over Direct Connect and Site-to-site VPN connections without having to rely on third-party routers or telemetry export tools. Transit Gateway Flow Logs feature can help you with myriads of use-cases around proactive network troubleshooting, network capacity planning and compliance and security.
