However, it can also play a key role in helping you efficiently troubleshoot and mitigate network problems before they affect your customers or cause headaches for your leadership. The simplest and most efficient way to leverage the new internet-centric […]
Deploying Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) using AWS Service Catalog
Planning, tracking, and monitoring IP addresses for large-scale networks can challenging. Network Administrators often use a combination of spreadsheets, confluence pages, and home-grown tools to track IP address assignments across Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs), AWS Regions, and AWS accounts. However, these methods are largely manual and prone to errors, and even a minor […]
External Connectivity to Amazon VPC Lattice
In this blog post, we discuss how to connect on-premises and external services to Amazon VPC Lattice. We will go over architectural considerations and requirements for connecting services from trusted locations (on-premises), non-trusted locations (3rd party), and across AWS Regions. Then, we provide a solution that builds out a capability to facilitate this using AWS […]

Centralizing outbound Internet traffic for dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 VPCs
Organizations have been adopting IPv6 in their IPv4 environments to solve IP address exhaustion or meet compliance requirements. Since IPv6 isn’t backward compatible with IPv4, several mechanisms can facilitate communication between hosts that support one or both protocols. One common way is by using dual stack deployments. For architectures where dual stack deployments aren’t the […]
VPC Routing Enhancements and GWLB Deployment Patterns
At re:Invent 2020, AWS introduced Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB), an AWS service that helps you deploy, scale, and manage third-party virtual network appliances, such as firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and others. GWLB is a type of load balancer under the Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) family. Other load balancers within the ELB family include […]
AWS Network Optimization Tips
When thinking about architecture, it’s very common to come across scenarios where there is no right or wrong answer – the best answer is “it depends”. You must carefully consider the tradeoffs between cost, performance, reliability, and operational efficiency before coming to a decision. A little planning ahead of time can help you avoid numerous […]
Amazon VPC IP Address Manager Best Practices
Internet Protocol (IP) address management is an essential network planning and management component, and creating a scalable addressing scheme allows your AWS and hybrid network to expand, accommodating the needs of your workloads. Careful consideration for how your IP address space is allocated minimizes the risk of overlapping Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) blocks, and of […]
