Amazon Transit Gateway Documentation
Amazon Transit Gateway allows you to connect VPCs and on-premises networks through a central hub. This helps simplify your network and enables you to remove complex peering relationships. It acts as a cloud router – each new connection is only made once.
Transit Gateway Connect
Amazon Transit Gateway Connect allows for native integration of SD-WAN appliances into Amazon Web Services Cloud. You can extend their SD-WAN edge into Amazon Web Services Cloud using standard protocols such as Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
Amazon VPC feature interoperability
Amazon Transit Gateway allows for the resolution of public DNS hostnames to private IP addresses when queried from Amazon VPCs that are also attached to the Amazon Transit Gateway.
Management
You can use the command-line interface (CLI), Amazon Web Services Management Console, or Amazon CloudFormation to create and manage your Amazon Transit Gateway. Amazon Transit Gateway provides Amazon CloudWatch metrics, such as the packet count, and the drop count. In addition, you can use Amazon VPC Flow Logs with Amazon Transit Gateway to capture information about the IP traffic going through the Amazon Transit Gateway attachment.
Peering
With Amazon Transit Gateway peering, you can establish peering connections between transit gateways in the same Amazon Web Services China Region or across regions. Peering allows you to directly route traffic between two transit gateways. Inter-region peering enables you to share resources between Amazon Web Services China Regions or replicate data for geographic redundancy. Intra-region peering allows multiple teams within your organization to deploy their own transit gateways and interconnect their networks in the same region.
Multicast
With Transit Gateway multicast, you can create and manage multicast groups in the cloud. You can scale up and down your multicast solution in the cloud to simultaneously distribute a stream of content to multiple subscribers.
Security
Amazon Transit Gateway is integrated with Identity and Access Management (IAM), enabling you to securely manage access to Amazon Transit Gateway.
Single management portal across cloud and on-premises networks
You can manage your private network that spans the cloud and your premises, from a single pane of glass on the Amazon Web Services Management Console.
Events
You can get notified of network changes, routing changes, and connection status updates.
Metrics
You can monitor your network through performance and traffic metrics, such as bytes in/out, packets in/out, and packets dropped.
