Anchoring AWS Outposts servers with AWS Direct Connect
Compute Blog
This article explores networking solutions for AWS Outposts servers in environments without direct internet connectivity, focusing on three key connectivity options:
- Transit VIF: Recommended approach using AWS Direct Connect and Transit Gateway with NAT gateway for secure egress
- Provides connectivity for Outposts servers while maintaining network security
- Uses Amazon Route 53 resolver endpoints to handle DNS resolution
- Enables Outposts servers to reach AWS service endpoints without exposing them to internet threats
The article details configuration steps and explains why public and private Virtual Interface (VIF) options are generally less suitable due to routing complexities and security concerns.
