TLS Termination for Network Load Balancers :)

There is a reason I love AWS - they continue to impress you by bringing the features which customers demand. Here is a new feature which is going to make your life lot more easier with NLB.

Going forward, you do not have to keep SSL certificate on all your instances (behind NLB), rather you can terminate TLS connection at NLB. This saves you from lot of work and regular housekeeping.

If you have not setup NLB already, here is a video to show you step by step setup, you can watch and practice.

After this, it is recommended to spend 10 minutes to understand the benefits of this new feature, read it here.

If you want to understand the differences and pricing of all the different types of Load Balancers on AWS, watch this.

AWS Transit Gateway - Setup & DEMO - announced in reInvent 2018 - Part 1

AWS Transit Gateway (TGW) is here to change things in AWS networking big time. It solves the existing problems of VPC peering limits when you try to make multiple VPCs talk to each other. Different customers were making it work with Transit VPC till now, where they were maintaining a VPC  in center and running third party software in this VPC which used to forward the traffic to other VPCs. But, managing Transit VPC was a big pain. With Transit Gateway, these maintenance activities go away. 

In this very first video, we are discussing, along with a detailed demo, about the setup of TGW and how to use it to achieve different scenarios of VPC peering. There would be further videos to discuss more complex architecture as well. 

Remember: 

1. TGW is regional service. 
2. TGW attachments will create an ENI in the subnet you have chosen.
3. TGW is fully managed service and there is a charge for using it. Pricing depends on two factors: 
• Number of attachments to TGW (per hour). Any partial hour is converted to full.
• Amount of data processed (in GB). See rates here.
4. One TGW route table can have multiple attachments associated to it. But, one attachment can use only TGW route table. 
5. Static / blackhole routes take precedence over propagated routes. 
6. VPCs peered via Transit Gateway cannot reference Security Groups of each other (currently).
