AWS Cloud WAN introduces Service Insertion to simplify security inspection at global scale

This article announces a new feature called Service Insertion for AWS Cloud WAN, which simplifies the integration of security and inspection services into global networks built with Cloud WAN.

Specifically, the article covers:

• Service Insertion allows you to steer network traffic between VPCs, regions, on-premises locations, and the internet through security appliances or inspection services using a central Cloud WAN policy or the AWS management console.
• It works with both AWS Network Firewall and third-party security solutions, enabling east-west (VPC-to-VPC) and north-south (internet ingress/egress) security inspection across multiple regions and on-premises locations globally.
• You can enable Service Insertion through the AWS Management Console, CLI, or SDKs, and it's available in all regions where Cloud WAN is available.
• There are no additional charges for using Service Insertion beyond the regular Cloud WAN charges.
