In this lab, you will implement a comprehensive hybrid connectivity solution using AWS services to integrate on-premises data centers with AWS cloud resources. This exercise focuses on configuring network components to establish a secure and optimized data flow between a local enterprise network and AWS. You'll experience the intricacies of managing a VPN and Direct Connect substitute with AWS Transit Gateway, including traffic routing, protocol management, and private access optimizations. This lab will take you through the deployment and configuration of AWS Transit Gateway to manage multiple VPCs while ensuring secure connectivity to your on-premises network. You'll explore advanced routing techniques and troubleshoot potential connectivity issues using AWS tools like Reachability Analyzer and CloudWatch VPC Flow Logs. Additionally, you will work with Amazon Route 53 to set up a reliable, low-latency DNS solution to ensure high availability of your enterprise applications across hybrid networks. This involves setting up public and private hosted zones with health checks and traffic policies, thereby fine-tuning the application delivery and performance.
Maverick Enterprises, a global logistics company, is expanding its IT infrastructure to AWS for better scalability. With existing investments in data centers worldwide, Maverick needs a robust hybrid architecture. They require encrypted, low-latency connectivity to synchronize logistics data across their systems and leverage AWS for data processing and analytics. Their current architecture demands private access to AWS resources to remain compliant with regional data protection regulations, while ensuring optimal service delivery to remote locations with at least 99.95% availability.
