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

Extending the Boundaries of Cloud to the Edge

Written by John Gonsalves #Aviatrix Secure Edge makes it simple to extend cloud networking and security to the edge!  During their public cloud journey, IT leaders often ask themselves, “How do we — as securely and as seamlessly as possible — bring public cloud/s closer to end-users and services that continue to reside on-prem. The very nature of doing this creates new challenges — applications are being developed at pace and scale, and therefore the ability to connect public cloud outward to the edge of on-prem becomes reliant on infrastructure that needs to always be available, performant, scalable, secure, and cost efficient. Short reminder of some of the key challenges:Installation and setup of on-prem network edge infrastructure is often very time-consuming and costly, resulting in significant delays. Network automation (in cloud vs on-prem) is done differently, which causes increased time to onboard. The on-prem network architecture team may be disjointed from cloud teams, creati

Extending Security Domains to AWS – IPSEC

To make it short:we are classifying spokes in security domains and isolate these domains from each other. That can be extended to multi-cloud, on-prem, vpn. (More details)Let’s focus on AWS TGW today…There is also feature called “TGW Orchestration” which allows Aviatrix controller to program TGW and manage its RTB and also utilizing these security domains. It is pretty powerful but has one big limitation – we are able to extend segmentation only to EDGE transit domain. So if you peer this Transit to another Aviatrix transit pair in a different CSP you will not see them. That’s why we are going to build it differently – by defining Connections between Aviatrix Transit and  AWS TGW. With Connection definition we can extend it further and fully utilize potential given with MCNA (Multi-Cloud Network Architecture) by Aviatrix. Sometimes you just might not be the owner of TGW and you just need to do it that way. Desired Topology  When defining connection you need to be aware how Aviatrix Gat

Extending Security Domains to AWS via GRE (connect attachment)

One of the way to provide connectivity from AWS to AVX is via IPSEC tunnels. There are however few limitations in regard to that. Throughput is the biggest concern there. We can of course increase number connections and it serves its purpose well, but lets do it a little bit differently.  We will leverage different type of TGW attachment  (CONNECT). In order to do that we need to have our Aviatrix TrGW deployed in AWS and build underlay for our GRE tunnels. This underlay is actually another attachment type (well known – VPC ATTACHMENT). Important note:‘You can create up to 4 Transit Gateway Connect peers per Connect attachment (up to 20 Gbps in total bandwidth per Connect attachment), as long as the underlying transport (VPC or AWS Direct Connect) attachment supports the required bandwidth” There is also another factor when thinking about such a high bandwidth – Aviatrix TrGW CPU – instance size basically. Why connecting AWS TGW with Aviatrix TrGW that way? Why not using just Aviatrix
