How do I easily determine that the issue is not from the Network?

Can someone help me with more information on a feature with Aviatrix that can help identify and isolate the network from issues that occur in Multicloud to on-prem scenario? I remember this was discussed in the online class I attended.

“How to achieve network simplicity in Google cloud (GCP) and the importance of customer-centric relationship”

  A candid chat with Sr Manager of Application Development Asif Masood  In this episode Asif shares some golden nuggets learned during his extensive career in technology. From mainframe programmer to managing databases, transitioning to leading back-office architects at Sear Holdings Corp where he also led the migrations into AWS. His most recent role at True Value where he was the Senior App Dev Manager leading infrastructure migrations from on-prem into GCP and where he ran into and met the folks at aviatrix.Some golden nuggets and words of wisdom from Asif:As each cloud providers close the gaps on core capabilities, cost is becoming an important deciding factor on which cloud provider to use - AWS is the most mature but could be too expensive for many customers GCP offered the most cost effective option for windows migrationsUsing cloud MSP partner (HCL) helped them get best pricing as they were already embedded at true value providing managed support Manual and DIY  cloud networkin

Feedback from migrating from AWS Peering to Connected Transit

Currently we have in our environment too many AWS Peerings and we are considering enabling Connected Transit and let Aviatrix manage inter-VPC communication. I would like the transition to be as transparent as possible for our end users; thus I have few questions:Will the AWS Peerings conflict after I enable Connected Transit? When do you delete the AWS Peerings, before or after enabling Connected Transit? Was there a significant change in cost regarding data transfer now all traffic is going thru the Spoke Gateeways?I am interested in learning from you experience. thx Antonio

What about On Prem?

I watched the 1 hour video.  I've got multiple customers that may be a fit for Aviatrix, but it isn't clear to me how well this fits with on prem?  Most of my customers are seeking tools that span both on prem and cloud.  Please advise?

Aviatrix Terraform Provider - resource 'aviatrix_spoke_transit_attachment'

Hello Aviatrix Community, I am experimenting with the Terraform provider. I cannot seem to get the aviatrix_spoke_transit_attachment to work. I keep getting the error below, and it appears to be a catch 22? It is requiring that activemesh be disabled, but activemesh doesn't appear to be capable of being disabled when provisioning a transit or spoke via those Terraform resources. I've attempted to explicitly set the activemesh to disabled, but it turns on anyways & taints that TF resource.  With that said, I can attach my terraform-generated gateways in the Controller GUI (version 6.6) without issue, and I can replicate those URL Encoded actions via Python Requests without issue. Does anyone know any workarounds or simply point out what I am doing wrong?   ╷ │ Error: couldn't disable Active Mode for Aviatrix Transit Gateway: rest API disable_gateway_activemesh Post failed: Valid action required: disable_gateway_activemesh │ │   with aviatrix_transit_gate

Lost Routes from HA Gateway to Spokes

Has anyone had the issue of losing the routes between their HA Transit Egress gateways and spokes? We encountered this issue and all it took to rectify the issue was un-attaching then reattaching the spokes but don't seem to have a reason for why they lost the routes in the first place.

Warning on Terraform during Infrastructure as Code certification labs

Is this something I should be worried about? Am I doing something wrong in the Lab (1) or has terraform undergone some changes since the course was written? Plan goes ahead anyway, these are just warnings. Is there a way I can fix them?
