Dynamic routing using Amazon VPC Route Server
Networking & Content Delivery Blog
The article discusses Amazon VPC Route Server, a new AWS feature that enables dynamic routing within Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). The feature allows for advanced traffic control and automated failover between cloud applications and on-premises systems.
- Provides dynamic routing capabilities using BGP protocol
- Enables automatic route updates and failover without manual intervention
- Supports two key scenarios: floating IP for application failover and ingress traffic inspection
- Uses BGP attributes like AS Path and Multi-Exit Discriminator to control routing preferences
- Integrates with Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for rapid failure detection
The solution offers fast convergence, automation, scalability, and uses industry-standard routing protocols to improve network resilience in AWS environments.
