Configure secure, high-performance connectivity between on-premises infrastructure and cloud platforms using VPN and dedicated connections. Use when building hybrid cloud architectures, connecting data centers to cloud, or implementing secure cross-premises networking.

TL;DR

Configure secure, high-performance on-premises to cloud connectivity using VPN, Direct Connect, and ExpressRoute for hybrid cloud networks.

What Is It

Establish secure network links between on-premises and cloud
Support hybrid cloud architectures and data center extensions
Enable reliable, scalable connectivity across multiple regions and providers
Implement private, encrypted, and high-availability connections

Key Features

Supports AWS, Azure, and GCP connectivity options
Offers multiple connection types: VPN, Direct Connect, ExpressRoute
Enables BGP-based dynamic routing and route propagation
Provides high availability via dual tunnels and ECMP
Includes security, monitoring, and cost optimization best practices
Supports multi-region and multi-cloud hybrid setups
Offers redundancy and failover through active-active configurations
Enables compliance and meets regulatory requirements

How to Use

1.Choose appropriate connection type (VPN, Direct Connect, ExpressRoute)
2.Configure BGP with correct AS numbers and route advertisements
3.Set up routing tables and enable route propagation
4.Implement security and monitoring with network ACLs and flow logs
5.Deploy in hybrid patterns (hub-and-spoke, multi-region, multi-cloud)
6.Monitor tunnel status and performance metrics

Guardrails & Gotchas

Use private connectivity (Direct Connect/ExpressRoute) to avoid public internet exposure
Implement encryption for all VPN tunnels
Enable route propagation and BGP for dynamic routing
Monitor connections with CloudWatch/Monitor for real-time visibility
Implement redundancy (dual tunnels) for high availability
Regular security audits and route filtering are mandatory
