Best Practices Best Practices
Connecting an On-premises Data Center to a VPC on the Cloud Through VPN (Active-Active Mode)
Two VPN connections are set up between an on-premises data center and a VPC to ensure reliability. If one VPN connection fails, traffic is automatically switched to the other VPN connection, ensuring service continuity.
Connecting an On-premises Data Center to a VPC on the Cloud Through VPN (Active/Standby Mode)
Two VPN connections working as an active/standby pair are set up between an on-premises data center and a VPC to ensure reliability. If one VPN connection fails, traffic is automatically switched to the other VPN connection, ensuring service continuity.
Connecting Multiple On-premises Branch Networks Through a VPN Hub
VPN is used to connect two on-premises data centers.
Using an Enterprise Router to Build a Hybrid Cloud Network with Direct Connect and VPN in Active/Standby Mode
A Direct Connect connection and VPN connection are attached to the same enterprise router and work as an active/standby pair, forming a hybrid cloud network. If the active connection fails, services are automatically switched to the standby one, ensuring high network reliability.
Using VPN to Connect to the Cloud Through Two Internet Lines
To meet service requirements, an enterprise needs to establish communications between its on-premises data center and a VPC on the cloud. For reliability purposes, they need the on-premises data center to have two public IP addresses to connect to the VPN gateway on the cloud.
Using VPN to Encrypt Data over Direct Connect Lines
The on-premises data center of a financial institution connects to the cloud through Direct Connect. To ensure data transmission security, the financial institution wants to use VPN to encrypt the data entering and leaving the cloud.
