2. Conducting an all-in migration to adopt a hybrid infrastructure by 2020 to keep business running smoothly while ensuring security.
3. Connecting the on-premise systems to the cloud using VPC VPN or Direct Connect for a redundant final solution with best practices like logging and multi-VPC architecture for security and operations.

12. What’s VPN?
“Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite for securing Internet Protocol (IP)
communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a
communication session. IPsec includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication
between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to
be used during the session. “
13. What’s Direct Connect?
“Dedicated, private pipes into AWS Create private (VPC) or public virtual
interfaces to AWS Reduced data-out rates (data-in still free)) Consistent network
performance At least 1 location to each AWS region Option for redundant
connections Multiple AWS accounts can share a connection Inter-Region
enables connectivity to multiple regions in US Uses BGP to exchange routing
information over a VLAN”
