For organizations operating multi-tenant environments, regulated environments, or multiple business units, maintaining strict network segmentation between SD-WAN and AWS is essential for meeting security, compliance, and operational requirements. This is Part 2 of the two-part series on extending SD-WAN segmentation into AWS Cloud WAN. In Part 1, the Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) based Connect attachment […]

For organizations operating multi-tenant environments, regulated environments, or multiple business units, maintaining strict network segmentation between SD-WAN and AWS is essential for meeting security, compliance, and operational requirements. Deploying SD-WAN virtual appliances and extending your segmentation through AWS Cloud WAN helps unify these segmented environments under a single, scalable global network. That said, segmentation is […]

In this post we explore how you can use AWS Cloud WAN Connect with Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) Tunnels and Multi-protocol BGP (MP-BGP) for Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing of IPv6 networks. We also cover route verification and failover testing best practices. Many Amazon Web Services (AWS) users are increasingly adopting IPv6 and Software-Defined Wide […]

Update 7/12/22: AWS Cloud WAN is now generally available. Today, AWS announced the preview release of a new networking service, AWS Cloud WAN. Cloud WAN is a managed wide area networking (WAN) service that makes it easy for you to build, manage, and monitor a global network that connects resources running across your cloud and […]

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 […]
