AWS Network Manager is a great tool that lets you monitor changes in your network and create automations. In this post, we cover how to leverage events in Network Manager to get notified about network changes and how to use AWS Serverless technologies to enrich the information provided by these events. Let’s start with a simple question: What is Network […]

AWS Transit Gateway is a network transit hub that enables you to connect thousands of Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs) and your on-premises networks using a single gateway. This simplifies your network connection and puts an end to complex peering relationships. AWS Transit Gateway Flow Logs enables you to export detailed telemetry information, such as source/destination […]

In this post, we provide recommendations to improve network performance on AWS and hybrid networks. In today’s enterprise networking environment, it is becoming common for customers to have multi-gigabit connectivity to AWS either through AWS Direct Connect or over the Internet. Although network bandwidth is fundamental, several other factors come into play for network performance, […]

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 […]
