Using AWS TGW Connect with Aviatrix Transit to build GRE tunnels

When customers are migrating to Aviatrix Transit from AWS TGW, we would build BGP connectivity between AWS TGW with Aviatrix Transit. In the past, we have to use IPSec, which would be limited to 1.25G per tunnel connection speed, for customer’s that doesn’t require end to end encryption during the migration, with AWS TGW Connect, now we can build GRE tunnels between AWS TGW and Aviatrix Transit.

Multi-homed VM in different Clouds

Many enterprises venture into clouds and find the landscape of cloud networking very different from on-prem. Multi-homed devices such as routers and firewalls when deploy to the cloud also are having challenges to insert themself into traffic path, particularly due the reasons listed below. This in turn slows down the enterprises adoption speed to the cloud. Let’s take a look what some of these challenges are:

Publish module to Terraform Registry

Why?

git repository is distributed in nature, also there are tons of repositories not using terraform. You have just created a killer terraform solution and cannot wait to share with world, instead of trying to send people the git repo link, how about publish it to terraform registry, and now everyone can search and simply use it as a module? After all, let’s keep it DRY (Don’t repeat yourself) as much as possible.

Secure Aviatrix Controller with Azure Application Gateway V2

Aviatrix controller is already hardened. You may further lock it down with Settings -> Controller -> Access Security -> Controller Security Group Management. The controller would be protected by Security Group allowing access only from Aviatrix Gateways. Customer can add their own egress public IPs and CoPilot public IPs to security group, allowing inbound HTTPs access to the Aviatrix controller.

Enterprises already utilizing Azure Application Gateway/ WAF may want to place the Aviatrix controller behind it, for tighter security. This blog post shows how to place the Aviatrix controller behind Azure Application Gateway/WAF

Enable private connectivity to workloads deployed in multiple default VPCs – Part 1

Scenario: One of our customers are primary in Azure, after merger and acquisitions, them acquired hundreds of AWS accounts, where workloads are deployed to default VPCs, which all have this address space: 172.31.0.0/16

They are looking for a solution to provide bi-directional private connectivity to these workloads in AWS from Azure without overhead of route management, also provide visibility to the traffic.
