User VPN FAQs

Do you provide a VPN client for end users for the point-to-site connectivity or are they still using another third party?  Aviatrix has its own VPN client with added benefits like SAML, but you can also use OpenVPN clients as well.  Is there a NAC module for Aviatrix VPN clients?  We can enforce the minimum version of the VPN client that the user uses. But besides that, there are no other NAC functionalities today.  Is transit traffic not possible with the Smart SAML VPN?  Once the user is on the Aviatrix backbone, they can access all the resources.

An Introduction to the Public Cloud FAQs

How do you decide which type of workload should be run on private and public clouds? You can run any type of workload in the public cloud. At the end of day, the VM/Instances in Cloud are regular Linux or Windows machines. The Cloud actually gives you even more options/services to run your workload. Does Aviatrix use Terraform to deploy/automate across the Cloud platforms? Yes! Totally! For Terraform, we are an official provider. Also we support REST API. https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aviatrix/. What is the benefit of using different Public Clouds, why not consolidate on one preferred cloud? You want to diversify. Just like how you would do main DC and DR in separate locations, it makes sense to be in different CSPs. Sometimes, there are better offerings in terms of services and support and cost when it comes to different CSPs. Are the controllers and the gateways multi-tenant?  Yes. The Controller allows you to onboard different accounts from different tena

Multicloud Network Architecture (MCNA) FAQs

What is an overlay network? An Overlay is a tunnel providing connectivity over the physical infrastructure. IPsec is an example of this. Does the MCNA apply to k8s workloads as well? All the examples presented were based on VMs workloads but it applies to k8s workloads as well.  They would reside in a VPC at the end of the day, so we can handle it. Is the MCNA an open framework? If so, who is contributing to it? The MCNA is an architecture that Aviatrix developed and implements using our platform. Others may leverage this type of architecture in the future as it is cloud-agnostic. We believe this is the best reference architecture for the cloud for single cloud or multi-cloud deployments. If we are using the same subnet in a different VPC, how does MCNA address that? Aviatrix provides the ability to overcome overlapping CIDRs if you’re using them repeatedly. If you are referring to IP address overlap, we have some solutions for that. The gateways

Site to Cloud FAQs

Is Site to Cloud similar to Site to Site VPN in Azure? Site to Cloud supports any remote sites with visibility.  How does Aviatrix compare with other networking solutions that are available natively in public clouds? Aviatrix is Cloud Native, designed and built in the cloud, other vendors have brought their legacy products to run on the cloud.  Do Aviatrix products provide SaaS or PaaS or both? Our solution runs on your IaaS, it is not a SaaS product… you are in control.

CloudWAN FAQs

How is SD-WAN and SDA accommodated in Aviatrix? Aviatrix integrates nicely with pretty much any SD-WAN provider. You can take a look here for a very common deployment model. https://docs.aviatrix.com/HowTos/transitvpc_designs.html?highlight=SD-WAN#sd-wan-integration How does CloudWAN take the optimal route? We leverage AWS Global Accelerator in AWS and Azure Anycast routing to connect the branch to cloud. With this, the branch will connect to the closest point of entry into that cloud provider's backbone.  Any plans to extend CloudWAN functionality to other SD-WAN solutions (VeloCloud, Versa, Meraki, etc.)? We have customers integrated and are currently using SD-WAN and Aviatrix together.  We are working with teams in WWT with a joint solution launch of Aviatrix + SD-WAN Better Together story.   Does Aviatrix have Enterprise customers leveraging CloudWAN today? Were there any specific challenges with the deployment you could speak to?  Y

Cannot Onboard an AWS Account

So after I finally got the CloudFormation working, now I am trying to onboard my AWS account, however, I have the following problem as shown in this (compiled) screenshot: It doesn't matter how setup the two roles + policies.

Deployment of Controller in AWS [LAB] Fails

I have spent probably 5 hours on trying to get a controller deployed into AWS. Using the information here:https://docs.aviatrix.com/StartUpGuides/aviatrix-cloud-controller-startup-guide.html After the first time I attempted it, I am to log into the controller and reset the password. I, then, failed to add my AWS account using the wizard from the first screen.  The error message tells me the role "aviatrix-role-ec2" is not assigned and go to the link above and re-run the cloudformation.  I have attempted to run this. However, when I am setting up template to deploy the system through Cloud formation is failed because the role "aviatrix-role-ec2" exists. However, if I go to IAM, it is NOT there, but for some reason, on the Cloudformation Stack Step 2: IAM role creation, it is listed. Yes, I've tried to use and it still failed. So I think I have the following two options: 1) figure out how to remove the 'ghosting' IAM role 2) figure out how to manually co

Question about wildcards

What are the limits of wildcards in the egress filtering tool? Can it be used in the middle of a URL or just at the end? For example, is this legal and does it work like you would expect? ecr.*.amazonaws.com or is that just the equivalent of: *.amazonaws.com Also, are these two identical or different? *.ecr.amazonaws.com ecr.amazonaws.com Thanks, Charles Wise

Can I Use Azure VPN GW in Hub or Transit VNET?

Azure VPN GW cannot be used as a transit gateway. You should be using NVA (for example Aviatrix Trnsit GW) in Transit VNET

Using AWS Cloudwatch for raising alerts when a tunnel status changes

I am using Cloudwatch for logging all aviatrix events. We would like to raise an alert whenever there is a status change in one of the tunnels. Email alerts contain the following text: "State Change: Up -> Down" but I have not been able to find a similar text in the logs.  Any help would be welcome. Antonio

Terraform Limitations and Choke Points?

How are you and your teams approaching Terraform in general. Terraform is great in certain use-cases but I want to hear what are the limitations and choke points in using Terraform? What are the things it cannot really do?
