When you migrate or build a new applications in AWS, you must connect multiple Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs) spread across different accounts and your on-premises systems with these VPCs. AWS Transit Gateway is one of the most popular and commonly used services in these scenarios. When you want communication/isolation between VPCs, and they also […]

Many AWS customers like to use their existing Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) devices when connecting their on-premises networks to an AWS Transit Gateway. When doing this, a large number of prefixes must be advertised to and from AWS Transit Gateway. In this post, we show how to use the Transit Gateway Connect feature […]

AWS Transit Gateway simplifies your network and puts an end to complex peering relationships. It acts as a cloud router and scales elastically based on the volume of network traffic. It can centralize connections (known as attachments) from your on-premises networks, and attach to Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPC) Virtual Private Networks (VPN), AWS Direct […]

SD-WANs, or Software Defined Wide Area Networks, have long been used to connect data centers and branch offices over the public internet. Today, those networks must also extend to the cloud. However, traditional SD-WAN infrastructure is not always well suited for this task—significantly increasing complexity and operational burden. At the same time, many AWS customers […]

Deploying new applications and workloads can require big changes to your network. Read what the Enterprise Strategy Group found during their technical validation of AWS Transit Gateway. This report, Simplifying Global Network Architecture, dives into the tradeoffs and benefits of building networks with AWS Transit Gateway. It details their findings from technical validation with three […]

At re:Invent 2019, we introduced additional capabilities to build, manage, and monitor global networks using AWS Transit Gateway and AWS Transit Gateway Network Manager. In 2020, we published a number of articles expanding on the topic of global networks. First, a blog post addressing why would you build a global network on AWS. Next, how to build […]

The new Route Analyzer feature for AWS Transit Gateway Network Manager is designed to diagnose and resolve network disruptions quickly. With Network Manager, you can centrally manage networks built around AWS Transit Gateways. You are able to […]

Traditional on-premises VPN services are fixed in capacity and difficult to scale up, or down, in a rapid and on-demand fashion. Hardware constraints, licensing, and bandwidth can all be factors that prevent traditional client VPN services from scaling to meet the needs of a rapidly growing mobile workforce. Fortunately, the elasticity of cloud and pay-as-you-go […]
