Enhancements to enable connectivity to an existing AWS Transit Gateway
With this feature, you can discover and connect to an existing Transit Gateway that you are maintaining in the AWS portal for your cloud operations. This is done using cloud gateways deployed through Cloud OnRamp for Multicloud in Cisco SD-WAN Manager.
This feature is applicable only to the following solutions:
-
Transit Gateway - VPN based
-
Transit Gateway - Connect based
If the AWS cloud gateways are created with existing Transit Gateways, the connectivity from the Transit Gateway to the workload VPCs are managed on the AWS portal. For more information, see Configure Transit Gateway connections through AWS portal.
You can connect the cloud gateways, comprising of the Cisco Catalyst 8000V, to the Transit Gateways from the Cloud router connectivity tab in the Cloud Connections page.
