Hi Expert, I have recently completed the free ACE certification and now I am looking for hands-on on Aviatrix product, need your suggestion to setup lab by own. any videos or link ?   Thanks in advance

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?

Hi, We are looking to implement S2C from Aviatrix TG to two network virtual appliances for diversity.  Is there a use-case for this at this time. We are looking for diversity not only dual tunnel to one on prem or NVA, but two or more. Thank you in advance. Deja dejas@solielcom.com

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

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?

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 ?

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.

Is there a specification for the Aviatrix physical appliance. 

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?

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

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.

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?

aviatrix platform is working compatible with alibaba or not? alibaba is pretty big cloud too. 

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! 

In the scenario above, does customer need to have the Aviatrix physical appliance installed at the on-premises site?   Thanks JF

Hi there, In the Feature Overview Part 2 of Aviatrix Certified Engineer - Multi-Cloud Network Associate Course, the instructor introduced centralized stateful firewall and said "It's best for single GW use cases supported by single GW HA". Can I ask the reason why? Thanks. JF

Hi there, Can I please have more design information of the SDWAN integration with Aviatrix like the diagram being shown in the course? Thanks JF

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

Hi there, Does anyone knows where I can find the Aviatrix API reference (Swagger) documentation? I remember seeing that in the past, and for some reason I can longer find it. Thank you

Can I create/delete AWS instance from aviatrix GUI?

Is it supported to deploy aviatrix controller across different clouds?

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?

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

I was trying to spin up an Aviatrix Cloud Controller at AWS using Sandbox Starter Tool, but keep getting these errors: > The controller will be launched in us-east-1. Initializing modules... Initializing the backend... Initializing provider plugins... - Checking for available provider plugins... --> Controller launch failed, aborting. Registry service unreachable. This may indicate a network issue, or an issue with the requested Terraform Registry. Registry service unreachable. This may indicate a network issue, or an issue with the requested Terraform Registry. registry service is unreachable > If anyone has faced the same issue before, kindly help me to find a solution. I ran starter Tool as docker container in my laptop and accessing to Hashicorp registry is fine from my laptop, not sure why it complains Terraform registry service is unreachable. ===Debug Message== --> Controller SSH key already exists, skipping. --> OK. --> Now going to launch the controlle
