Blog



This article explains how to deploy hybrid networks by integrating AWS Direct Connect with AWS Cloud WAN for connecting on-premises environments to AWS Cloud.

  • Direct Connect connects to Cloud WAN via Transit Gateways and Direct Connect gateways
  • Supports multiple network segments (Production, Development, Hybrid) with separate routing
  • Enables cross-Region deployments for increased resiliency and redundancy
  • Supports cross-account peering connections and attachments within AWS Organizations
  • Step-by-step deployment includes creating Direct Connect gateway, Transit VIF, Transit Gateway, and Cloud WAN peering
  • Transit Gateway route table attachments map to specific Cloud WAN segments using tags
  • Provides end-to-end connectivity verification through route table inspection

This guide enables enterprises to build scalable, resilient hybrid networks connecting on-premises infrastructure to multi-Region AWS deployments with traffic segmentation and isolation.
