AWS Transit Gateway for AWS Middle East (Bahrain) Region supported by AWS Direct Connect

Amazon Web Services recently introduced AWS Direct Connect support for its AWS Transit Gateway in the AWS Middle East region, Bahrain to be precise. This new service will help the users connect multiple AWS regions to their on-premises networks using AWS Direct Connect Connections. By connecting thousands of Amazon Virtual Private Clouds i.e. Amazon VPCs, it will allow the users to access almost every AWS Region with China being an exception. AWS Direct Connect is bringing a new type of virtual interface to support connectivity to AWS Transit Gateway, called the transit virtual interface to support connectivity. Using your 1/2/5/10 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connections you can create a transit virtual interface at any AWS Direct Connect locations but China. It is recommended to attach at least two transit virtual interfaces from different AWS Direct Connect locations to the Direct Connect gateway for increasing the resilience of your connectivity. It is available for 20 AWS Regions and AWS Transit Gateway for other regions shall be seen in the market very soon.

Inter-Region Peering offered by AWS Transit Gateway

AWS Transit Gateway is a network transit hub which allows users to link their Amazon VPC and their on-premises networks to one gateway. While you increase the number of workloads executing on AWS, you require to be able to scale your networks over several accounts and Amazon VPCs to move in progress. AWS Transit Gateway operates as a core which manages how traffic is directed between every linked networks which act like spokes. This hub and spoke model crucially clarifies management and minimises operational costs because every network only has to link to the Transit Gateway and not to all other network. Now AWS Transit Gateway assists the potential to initiate peering connections between Transit Gateways in different AWS Regions. Users just need to build and control one connection from a central regional gateway to all Amazon VPC, on premises data centre, or remote office across their networks with AWS Transit Gateway. The potential to peer Transit Gateways among multiple AWS Regions allows users to expand this connectivity and create global networks bridging several AWS Regions. AWS Transit Gateway inter-region peering permits users to direct traffic over AWS Regions using the AWS global network. Inter-region peering offers an easy and cost-effective way to share resources between AWS Regions or copy data for geographic redundancy. Inter-region Transit Gateway peering encrypts inter-region traffic with no single point of failure. This Inter-region Transit Gateway peering feature is accessible in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), EU (Ireland), and EU (Frankfurt) AWS Regions. To know the AWS Transit Gateway pricing details, refer pricing.
