Redesign a sprawling multi-account AWS network with a data center link
DesignExpert
The ticket
A retailer has 18 VPCs in us-east-1 and 6 in eu-west-1 across 9 AWS accounts. They grew one peering at
a time and now have over 40 peering connections and route entries nobody fully understands. The data
center (AS 65010, 192.168.0.0/16) connects over two site-to-site VPNs. New requirements:
- On-prem must reach every VPC; all VPCs must reach shared services (directory, DNS, CI).
- Prod and dev must be isolated from each other.
- Traffic between on-prem and AWS, and all internet egress, must pass a stateful firewall.
- About 3 Gbps steady traffic to on-prem with predictable latency, surviving the loss of one facility.
- Two dev VPCs both use
10.0.0.0/16.
