In this advanced lab, you will design and implement a hybrid network connectivity model that spans both on-premises data centers and AWS Cloud environments. Leveraging AWS Transit Gateway, AWS Site-to-Site VPN, and AWS VPC capabilities, you'll ensure robust and secure connectivity with redundant paths to meet business continuity and performance requirements. Participants will gain hands-on experience in configuring BGP routing and integrating multiple AWS accounts under a single network architecture, addressing real-world challenges such as IP overlap and compliance with stringent security protocols. The lab covers configuring layer-3 encryption using IPsec with dynamically routed VPN connections and establishing high availability across multiple Availability Zones. You'll also apply security best practices by implementing network segmentation and traffic management strategies to optimize the flow of data between on-premises and cloud resources. By completing this lab, you'll master the complexities of hybrid architectures using AWS services and practice advanced troubleshooting techniques to handle diverse network scenarios.
A multinational corporation, Global Trade Inc., operates several on-premises data centers across North America and Europe. The company plans to expand its business operations into new global markets by leveraging AWS Cloud for scalable and cost-effective IT solutions. To ensure seamless operations, Global Trade Inc. requires a hybrid network connectivity solution that offers minimal latency, high reliability, and enhanced security features. The firm must accommodate a daily data exchange volume exceeding 5 TB between cloud and on-premises resources and must maintain encrypted connections to protect sensitive client information according to international data protection laws. The company aims to achieve an SLA of 99.99% network uptime and requires real-time monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities to promptly address any connectivity issues.
