As customers put more workloads into AWS, the number of VPCs a customer needs to manage also grows. VPCs can exist across geographically disparate AWS Regions, or run in separate AWS accounts connecting to a common VPC that serves as a global network transit center. This session shows you how to implement a networking construct that AWS calls a transit VPC using the Cisco Cloud Services Router. This network topology simplifies network management and minimizes the number of connections that you need to set up and manage. Even better, it is implemented virtually and doesn't require physical network gear or a physical presence in a colocation transit hub. Come hear why customers are procuring this service through AWS Marketplace and how customers are using the transit VPC for private networking, shared connectivity, and cross-account AWS usage.
