How Betsson Services Limited elevated AWS hybrid connectivity to new heights with AWS Cloud WAN

This article describes how Betsson Services Limited migrated from AWS Transit Gateway to AWS Cloud WAN to simplify their global multi-region network infrastructure.

• Betsson operates across three continents with complex multi-region AWS deployments requiring simplified networking
• AWS Cloud WAN replaced Transit Gateway to reduce complexity, costs, and maintenance overhead
• Migration achieved zero downtime through careful BGP planning and phased VPC/VPN cutover
• Seven network segments created (Production, Test, Dev, Corporate, Shared Services, Inspection, Hybrid)
• AWS Network Firewall integrated for egress and east-west traffic inspection across segments
• Unsupported sa-east-1 region connected via Transit Gateway peering to Cloud WAN segments
• Migration reduced costs by 10-15% and improved latency up to 100ms in some cases
• New region deployment time reduced from hours to minutes
• Future plans include Network Function Groups and direct AWS Direct Connect integration

Betsson successfully modernized their AWS network architecture, achieving cost savings, improved performance, and faster regional deployments while maintaining zero-downtime operations.
