Connect Amazon VPCs, AWS accounts, and on-premises networks to a single gateway

Benefits

Streamline your architecture

Streamline your architecture to manage it as it grows in complexity.

Better visibility and control

Get better visibility and control over your virtual private clouds and edge connections.

Improve security

Improve security with inter-Region peering encryption on the AWS global private network.

Lift and shift

Lift and shift your on-premises finance and video multicast applications to the cloud.

How it works

AWS Transit Gateway connects your Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and on-premises networks through a central hub. This connection simplifies your network and puts an end to complex peering relationships. Transit Gateway acts as a highly scalable cloud router—each new connection is made only once.

Why Transit Gateway?

AWS Transit Gateway helps you design and implement networks at scale by acting as a cloud router. As your network grows, the complexity of managing incremental connections can slow you down. AWS Transit Gateway connects VPCs and on-premises networks through a central hub.

Use cases

Deliver applications around the world

Build, deploy, and manage applications across thousands of Amazon VPCs without having to manage peering connections or update routing tables.

Rapidly move to global scale

Share VPCs, Domain Name System (DNS), Microsoft Active Directory, and IPS/IDS across Regions with inter-Region peering.

Smoothly respond to spikes in demand

Quickly add Amazon VPCs, AWS accounts, virtual private networking (VPN) capacity, or AWS Direct Connect gateways to meet unexpected demand.

Host multicast applications on AWS

Host multicast applications that scale based on demand, without the need to buy and maintain custom hardware.
