Advanced VPC and Transit Gateway Challenge

EXPERT
240 minutes
5 tasks

In this lab, you will design and implement a complex network architecture involving multiple VPCs, AWS Transit Gateway, and VPN connections. The main goal is to configure a highly scalable, hybrid network that connects an on-premises environment with AWS. You will explore advanced routing configurations, security settings, and automation using Infrastructure as Code. It includes setting up a transit gateway that interconnects with multiple VPCs and allows for seamless integration with an on-premises data center using VPN.

Scenario

Acme Corp, a multinational company, needs to enhance connectivity between its regional offices and the AWS Cloud. They gathered requirements to establish a hybrid network solution using AWS Transit Gateway and VPNs. They aim to reduce latency below 50ms, ensure 99.9% availability, and cut operational costs by 15% using network automation. The solution should securely connect three VPCs in us-east-1 with their on-premises network while allowing future scalability to two additional AWS regions.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the configuration of AWS Transit Gateway and its benefits in a multi-VPC environment.
  • Implement a Site-to-Site VPN connection to integrate on-premises networks with AWS.
  • Automate network configurations using Infrastructure as Code tools like AWS CloudFormation.
  • Implement security configurations for secure and optimal network performance.
