Secure Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) with AWS Network Firewall

Architecture Blog



This article demonstrates how to secure Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) workloads using AWS Network Firewall with centralized traffic inspection across hybrid cloud environments.

  • AWS Network Firewall provides managed IDS/IPS with centralized policy management and logging
  • Native Transit Gateway integration automates VPC resource provisioning and reduces operational overhead
  • Centralized inspection architecture inspects East-West, North-South, and internet traffic flows
  • Implementation uses Transit Gateway route tables to steer traffic through firewall for inspection
  • FQDN filtering blocks unauthorized domains; stateful rules control ingress and East-West traffic
  • CloudWatch logs provide comprehensive visibility into firewall alerts and flow data

This solution enables organizations to enforce consistent network security policies across EVS clusters, VPCs, on-premises data centers, and internet traffic with a single point of control.
