AWS Transit Gateway

Connect Amazon VPCs, AWS accounts, and on-premises networks to a single gateway

Streamline your architecture to manage it as it grows in complexity.

Get better visibility and control over your virtual private clouds and edge connections.

Improve security with inter-Region peering encryption on the AWS global private network.

Lift and shift your on-premises finance and video multicast applications to the cloud.

How it works

AWS Transit Gateway connects your Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and on-premises networks through a central hub. This connection simplifies your network and puts an end to complex peering relationships. Transit Gateway acts as a highly scalable cloud router—each new connection is made only once.

Diagram showing how you can use the AWS Transit Gateway as a network transit hub for connecting your VPCs, VPNs, and on-premises networks over a single AWS Direct Connect connection for hybrid connectivity. Data is automatically encrypted and does not travel over the public internet.
What is AWS Transit Gateway? (01:24)
Why Transit Gateway?
AWS Transit Gateway helps you design and implement networks at scale by acting as a cloud router. As your network grows, the complexity of managing incremental connections can slow you down. AWS Transit Gateway connects VPCs and on-premises networks through a central hub.
