Requires: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for Dynamic VPN

VPC to on-premise VPN solution. Can be Full HA. Is quick to provision ~1h

Considerations:

  • AWS Speed cap 1.25Gbps for single connection and same for whole VGW
  • Latency Considerations - inconsistent, ‘cos public internet
  • Hourly cost, GB out cost, data camp (on premise)
  • Speed to setup – can be hours for all software configurations
  • Can be used as a backup for AWS Direct Connect (DX)
  • Can be used with AWS Direct Connect (DX)

Consists of
VPC
Virtual GW - logical gateway object, target to VPC Routing
Customer GW - logical configuration in AWS or a physical devices which logical configuration represents.
VPN Connection between VGW and CGW

Dynamic VPN is cool, route propagation is useful works for both ST and DYN.

Demo


In this on-prem route table the route destined to AWS will be pointed to Router’s private ENI (on-prem facing ENI), and traffic then will be released over the router’s public ENI
