Using the AWS console to manage cloud infrastructure can be convenient and user-friendly, especially for beginners or small projects. Yet, it also carries inherent challenges when used at scale. In this post, we will dive deep into how ControlMonkey can assist you with transitioning manually-created environments to an Infrastructure as Code approach, integrating seamlessly with GitOps and Hashicorp Terraform.

NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE platform offers insights into service delivery and user experience to manage availability and quality, reducing time to resolve performance issues by correlating metadata across network, applications, and devices. This post discusses implementing holistic visibility using NETSCOUT APM with VPC traffic mirroring and AWS Gateway Load Balancer. NETSCOUT delivers consistent, high-resolution visibility to identify and manage threats and performance in cloud environments.

AWS PrivateLink allows customers to securely connect cloud and on-premises data sources to Alation’s data catalog without exposing traffic to the public internet. This integration provides private connectivity between the customer’s VPC and Alation Cloud Service and simplifies network architecture. Using PrivateLink with Alation enables organizations to build a catalog of metadata from selected data assets while maintaining compliance with security and regulatory requirements.

As enterprises migrate to the cloud, advanced cybersecurity solutions are essential to prevent sophisticated attacks. Trellix’s virtual intrusion prevention system (vIPS) integrates with AWS Gateway Load Balancer to provide real-time threat detection and prevention. Utilizing techniques like behavioral analysis and signatureless detection, Trellix vIPS helps secure VPCs against evolving threats. As an AWS Specialization Partner, Trellix enables resilience against cyberattacks for customers’ cloud environments.

As customers migrate workloads into VMware Cloud on AWS, it’s become imperative to address service-to-service connectivity requirements between existing applications running on SDDCs and new services deployed using native AWS services. Learn how Amazon VPC Lattice can simplify inter-service communication across SDDCs and cloud-native environments, while abstracting the underlying networking complexity.

Many customers want to connect commercial regions to the China regions, but China’s compliance and infrastructure requirements are different than other countries. It requires isolation between VPCs in the China regions and VPCs in the other global regions. Learn about a solution that enables cross-border connectivity between six AWS commercial regions and China regions using a third-party marketplace solution that relies on AWS Direct Connect partners.

With the general availability of AWS PrivateLink for Amazon S3 released earlier this year, customers can take advantage of private connectivity between S3 and on-premises resources using private IPs from your virtual network. Learn how to leverage interface VPC endpoints (AWS PrivateLink) for Amazon S3 and its integrations with VMware Cloud on AWS, which brings VMware’s enterprise-class software-defined data center software to the AWS Cloud.

It’s well known that IT departments prefer authentication integration into existing IdPs such as Azure Active Directory to reduce operational overhead and the attack surface of IT systems. AWS announced federated authentication support for AWS Client VPN in May 2020, and this support requires integration with a SAML 2.0 provider, such as Azure Active Directory. Learn how to integrate AWS Client VPN with an Azure Active Directory to give remote users access to an AWS private VPCs..

Cisco SD-WAN provides a secure cloud scale architecture designed to meet the complex needs of modern WANs through three key areas: advanced application optimization, multi-layered security, and cloud integration. In this post, we will evaluate multiple Cisco SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide Area Network) architectures on AWS, which enable customers to extend the common policy, segmentation, and security of their SD-WAN environments at scale in an operationally efficient manner.
