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

Aviatrix Transit VPC - DXGW

Today, we are using Aviatrix as TGW orchestrator only. We have AWS Direct Connect connections to two TGWs in different regions connecting to AWS Direct Connect Gateway. If we decide to deploy Aviatrix Transit VPC, do we still need AWS TGW? If not, how will I connect my on-prem to the Aviatrix Transit VPC?

Aviatrix Transit VPC - Global or Regional

Hi, Apologies if this basic question has been answered already but could not find any reference Is  the Aviatrix Transit GW a regional service or Global ? Will the Solution work if I have 1 VPC in US-West and another VPC in US-East with the  Aviatrix Transit VPC in any of these regions ? or is it that we need to deploy 2 Transit VPCs - one each of US-West  &  US-East and interconnect both these VPCs for reachability ?

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?

Terraform Gateway

Hello,   Maybe someone can help me as I have no clue were the problem can be. I have deployed successfully via terraform successfully a Aviatrix Controller and a Co-Pilot, after that I have set up via terraform again a service principal that can deploy configuration ins inside the controller. Now my task is to deploy a VPC and a transit gateway. I have use this script https://github.com/terraform-aviatrix-modules/terraform-aviatrix-mc-transit   How the strange part is that terraform is creating the VPC successfully but for the gateway is failing with the below error.   But in reality the gateway is deployed successfully   Maybe someone has encounter the same problem using this terraform script?   Best Regards Gilbert

VPC Gateway with Private Network

Hi, I am working on Aviatrix MCNA and due to cyber requirements cannot run gateways in VPCs with Public IPs. Is there a way to run gateways with a private network subnet? Gateways in Hub can be on public subnets.

aviatrix is focusing mostly on networking btw various clouds?

is my understanding correct that most challenge in multi cloud lies in networking, access, making sure clouds can send data, communicate to each other?   aviatrix is resolving this complexity?

Logging into Aviatrix gateways and controller

Hi, I'm looking to ssh into aviatrix gateways and controller launched as part of the labs/sandbox starter. I don't see a ec2 keys associated with these instances. Is there a way to specify ec2 ssh key when launching the controller/gateways during launch? I don't see the option in the UI. I suspect it's forbidden/disallowed for obvious reasons. But, just trying my luck.  Thanks!

VNet Peering data charge in Azure Transit Option 1/2 via ExpressRoute Edge Routers

Hi guys, In the Azure Networking 101 course/video, the instructor said doing Azure Transit via ExpressRoute Edge Routers can avoid VNet Peering data charge. I don't quite get it as there is data charge still on those two VNet Peering between Spoke VNets and Hub VNet that ExpressRoute terminates, isn't there? Or he actually meant avoiding the data charge of VNet Peering between Spoke VNets? But what is the actual difference from commercial prospective? Traversing two VNet Peering through Hub VNet V.S. traversing one direct VNet Peering between two Spoke VNets. Thanks   JF

What Happens When You Decommission Aviatrix?

If a user decides to decommission Aviatrix completely, will the user's multi-cloud environment continue to function like before? Will any gateways and other components created by Aviatrix that are native to a particular cloud remain in place? For example, you may have configured routes or security groups or even launched instances through the Aviatrix controller. Will they remain functional?

Let's Encrypt for Controller SSL?

Hi everyone, I have an Aviatrix Controller deployed and would like to secure browser access with an SSL certificate. Let's Encrypt seems like an easy and cost effective method, however in order to use it I need SSH access to the Controller, which is disabled. If there's anyone that has successfully implemented this I'd love to hear the details! Thanks,   Mark

How does Aviatrix provide connectivity for SD-WAN branches?

Aviatrix support many ways to do this. Build an SD-WAN POP in a VPC/VNET with SD-WAN virtual appliances, and then northbound you build standards-based IPsec/GRE tunnels + BGP over Public or Private peerings to the Aviatrix transit. The aviatrix transits can be instantiated in any region or any cloud, as many as you want, wherever you want. So you can build a nice architecture where your SD-WAN remote sites terminate at the closest POP to where their cloud apps live. You can put the SD-WAN appliances in the same VPC /VNET as aviatrix transit and do IPsec/GRE + BGP OR you can do native BGP with no tunneling for higher throughput. You can connect Aviatrix transits via IPsec/GRE + BGP over the internet/MPLS/direct-connect/express route to an on-premise physical SD-WAN appliance. More details can be found on your Aviatrix Youtube Channel where Dana (SD-WAN Expert) has a lot of videos explaining the design and deploy. You can also send an email to info@aviatrix.com

VPN CIDR Block

Hi I noticed the section on VPN gateways has stated the following:   Note a /24 VPN CIDR block supports about 64 simultaneous VPN clients. This is because for each connected VPN client, VPN gateways reserves 3 virtual addresses. For larger number of clients per VPN gateway, consider making the VPN CIDR block to a /22 or /20 network.   Is 'reservation of 3 virtual addresses' by VPN gateways is due to the Load balancing that can be implemented across the gateways?   Jeff
