AWS Cloud WAN Documentation

Central dashboard

Cloud WAN provides a central dashboard to connect and manage your branch offices, data centers, VPN connections, and Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN), as well as your Amazon VPCs and AWS Transit Gateways. The Cloud WAN dashboard helps you track network traffic and events and view the health of your network in one place.

Centralized policy management

When using Cloud WAN, you define access controls and traffic routing in a central network policy document. 

Network segmentation

You can use policies in Cloud WAN to segment your network traffic across the AWS Regions and on-premises locations you add to your network.

Built-in automation

Cloud WAN attaches new VPCs and network connections to your network once you have tagged attachments and defined network policies that map attachments with a certain tag to a specific network segment.
