Building on the recent announcement of Gateway API support in AWS Load Balancer Controller, in this post we demonstrate a practical architecture that uses both controllers through a single API specification. This approach simplifies operations while maintaining the flexibility to choose the right AWS service for each networking requirement. Managing application networking in Kubernetes has […]

AWS recently announced the general availability of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Load Balancer Controller support for Kubernetes Gateway API. Previously, AWS Load Balancer Controller satisfied Kubernetes Ingress and Service resource requirements by provisioning Application Load Balancer (ALB) and Network Load Balancer (NLB) respectively. With this new capability, you can now define your AWS load balancing […]

Enterprises are building distributed applications that span multiple cloud environments to optimize for resilience, data locality, and specialized services communication. These architectures require consistent, private, and high-performance network connectivity between clouds without exposing traffic to the public internet. Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced AWS Interconnect – multicloud, a new capability that enables private, managed Layer […]

Today, AWS announced two new features that work together to simplify how you manage public IPv4 addresses at scale: AWS NAT gateway in regional availability mode and Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) policies that define a public IPv4 allocation strategy. NAT gateway in regional availability mode automatically expands and contracts across availability zones following […]

In this post, we explore how you can use Amazon VPC Lattice to expose shared services and resources across an organization while maintaining security and governance. We cover key architecture concepts, security best practices, and considerations for deploying VPC Lattice in production environments. As organizations grow, managing access to shared services across multiple environments—such as […]

Note: This post is published in collaboration with Georgi Stoev, Senior Technical Architect at Salesforce, and Ravi Patel, Senior Engineering Manager at Salesforce  In this post, we review how Salesforce Business Technology uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) Direct Connect SiteLink to build resilient hybrid architectures, facilitating global expansion and accelerating AWS Cloud migrations. We also […]

They say old habits die hard, and in the networking world, that sentiment rings especially true when it comes to IPv4. It’s like that guest at a party who refuses to leave, even though the snacks are gone, and everyone’s ready for bed 😉 . Despite the glaring reality of IPv4 exhaustion, its reign persists, […]

In this post, we explore how you can leverage Amazon VPC Lattice to build modern, secure and resilient enterprise networks on AWS. We dive deeper into how you can modernize network connectivity using the VPC Lattice integrations with all AWS compute services, and the support for a broad set of application and transport protocols. We […]

In this post, we review how you can build hybrid connectivity architectures using the AWS Cloud WAN built-in support for AWS Direct Connect attachments. We share best practices and considerations for designing global hybrid networks on AWS that help you enable seamless connectivity between your on-premises environments and the AWS Cloud. Now, AWS Cloud WAN […]

In this post we explain how you can use Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) security group associations and security group sharing to configure consistent security rules across your workloads in multiple VPCs and accounts on AWS. We outline the steps to configure the two new security group features, their use cases, and best practices for […]
