Managing connectivity between many Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and on-premises networks can be operationally complex and costly. In this tech talk, we will discuss how AWS transit gateway simplifies network architecture, reduces operational costs and improves security. We will also discuss best practices for designing and monitoring a global network using AWS transit gateway and Network Manager.
Monitoring: Use Amazon CloudWatch metrics and events to monitor your networks
Respond to connectivity issues: Network Manager provides you with event notifications from a single interface so that you can get a global view of what is happening on your network. You can identify and troubleshoot network problems faster than if you received the information from different tools.
Global view – See network activity in many locations from one single dashboard. You can compare activity and identify inconsistencies between on-premises locations and the AWS cloud, or issues that affect several locations differently.
Route Analyzer:
Verify that the transit gateway route table configuration will work as expected before you start sending traffic.
Validate your existing route configuration.
Diagnose route-related issues that are causing traffic disruption in your global network.
SD-WAN: Automatically create AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections using SD-WAN management consoles
