In this lab, you will implement an integrated VPC architecture that supports hybrid connectivity with an on-premises network using AWS Site-to-Site VPN. The network configuration you build will include advanced VPC features such as multiple subnets, route tables, and security groups. You will explore the setup of a Transit Gateway to facilitate connectivity across multiple VPCs and regions, optimizing network resilience and security. Additionally, you will secure your network by employing AWS Network Firewall to manage inbound and outbound traffic, along with configuring logging to CloudWatch Logs for monitoring network flow. The lab will conclude with automated network configuration validation to ensure adherence to best practices and security guidelines. By mastering these configurations, you will be prepared to tackle real-world networking challenges in the cloud. This hands-on experience is critical for networking professionals aiming to enhance their skills with AWS services, especially in configuring and managing hybrid cloud infrastructures efficiently. Engage with realistic scenarios, comprehensive exercises, and practical applications to meet specific business needs.
A growing tech company, "Innovatech," is expanding its services to a global customer base and needs to ensure secure and reliable network connectivity between its on-premises data centers and its AWS cloud environment. The company is implementing a hybrid architecture using AWS Site-to-Site VPN to ensure seamless integration and continuity of services across different regions. The IT team needs to optimize this setup for high availability with a monthly cost target of under $8 for connectivity services while ensuring network security aligns with compliance standards. Performance metrics such as latency and throughput are critical, with a required average latency below 50ms between AWS and on-premises applications.
