Introductions

6. Concepts
Mulesoft Transit Gateway

7. VPC and Connectivity Options

8. VPC - Virtual Private Cloud
8
1. Allows the creation of a virtual,
private, and isolated network
segment in the cloud to host
CloudHub workers.
1. Region specific offering
1. Access to the workers inside the
VPC can be controlled by
configuring firewall rule
1. Mulesoft VPC can connect to other
AWS VPCs as well as to other on
premise networks

9. Anypoint VPN
9
1. Creates a secure connection
between your MuleSoft Virtual
Private Cloud (VPC) and your on-
premises network
1. Supports site-to-site Internet
Protocol security (IPsec)
connections
1. Highly available
1. Max throughput of 1.25 Gbps
1. Complete Self-Service - No need of
raising a support case with
Mulesoft

10. AWS Direct Connect
10
1. Dedicated network connection
between corporate data center and
a Direct Connect location
1. Private connectivity between AWS
and corporate data center
1. Consistent network performance
1. Speeds of upto 10 Gbps
1. Mulesoft support case is needed to
be raised for AWS Direct Connect

11. 11
VPC Peering
1. VPC Peering is networking
connection between 2 VPCs that
enables you to route traffic between
them using private IP addresses
1. Instances in either VPC can
communicate with each other as if
they are within the same network
1. VPC peering does not support
transitive peering relationships
1. Mulesoft support case is needed to
be raised for peering Anypoint VPC
with other AWS VPC

12. 12
● Connects AWS VPCs and on-premises networks
to a single gateway
● Acts as a single cloud router. Each new
connection to the Transit Gateway is only made
once
● Operates at layer 3, where next hop is decided by
the destination IP address
● Simplifies the overall network by putting an end to
complex peering relationships
● Supports Inter-Region Peering
● Managed by AWS and is highly scalable and
available
● Complete Self-Service - No need of raising a
support case with Mulesoft
Transit Gateway

13. 13
You can attach the following to a transit gateway
● One or more VPCs
● AWS Direct Connect Gateway
● Peering connection to another Transit
Gateway
● VPN Connection
Key Terms - Attachments
Source - https://aws.amazon.com/transit-gateway/

14. 14
Transit Gateway’s default route table gets
automatically populated with routes whenever a
new attachment connects to it
● VPC Attachment - Static routes(CIDR blocks
of the VPC) are propagated to the Transit
Gateway route table
● VPN Attachment - Dynamic routes(BGP) are
propagated to the Transit Gateway route table
Key Terms - Routing

15. 15
Network without Transit Gateway
● Connecting 3 VPCs and 1 on-premise network to
each other needs 6 separate connections
○ 3 VPN connections
○ 3 VPC Peering connections
● Adding a 4th VPC and connecting it to all other
VPCs and the on-premise network would need a
total of 10 connections
○ 3 additional VPC peering connections
○ 1 additional VPN connection

16. 16
Network with Transit Gateway
● Connecting 3 VPCs and 1 on-premise network to
each other needs 4 separate connections
○ 1 VPN attachments
○ 3 VPC attachment
● Adding a 4th VPC to the network and connecting it
to all other VPCs and the on-premise network
would need a total of 5 connections
○ 1 additional VPC attachment
