Native CloudEOS integration with AWS Transit
Gateway Connect designed to lower costs, accelerate deployments,
and simplify end-to-end segmentation
Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) today announced enhancements to
Arista CloudEOS™, providing native support for AWS Transit Gateway
Connect. The integration of CloudEOS with AWS Transit Gateway
Connect enables enterprise networks to cost-effectively and easily
connect Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs) hosted on
Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enterprise campus, branch, cloud, and
data center networks across the private WAN or public Internet
connections.
The CloudEOS product family now enables the following
capabilities for networking on AWS:
- Cloud Native Networking - scalable and cost-effective
internetworking between on-premises networks and AWS services and
networking architectures
- ‘Easy Button’ Deployment - declarative provisioning
enables AWS Transit Gateway Connect and CloudEOS to be deployed
together using Hashicorp Terraform, Red Hat Ansible, or Amazon
CloudFormation automation
- End-to-End Segmentation - CloudEOS extends segmentation
into existing environments such as data centers or other clouds
using an overlay tunnel architecture, thus reducing configuration
complexity and keeping end-to-end traffic isolated and secure
- High-Performance Path Optimization - application
performance and reliability is improved with Arista’s Dynamic Path
Selection (DPS) which utilizes all active transit paths between
clouds and on-premises facilities to achieve service level
objectives in complex multi-path networks
- Network Observability and Monitoring - In conjunction
with Arista’s CloudVision as-a-Service, CloudEOS delivers enhanced
network visibility into Amazon VPCs and transit gateways used by
AWS Transit Gateway Connect
“Deploying AWS Transit Gateway Connect with CloudEOS provides a
powerful architecture for constructing secure and scalable
networks, delivering to customers a high performance, exceptionally
reliable, and cost-effective model for interconnecting
enterprise-class cloud networking environments,” said Douglas
Gourlay, vice president and general manager for Cloud Networking
Software at Arista Networks.
Integration Details
Arista CloudEOS is a proven and familiar software routing
platform based on open standards that leverages the popular Arista
EOS® (Extensible Operating System) at its core. It is available
across all major cloud marketplaces to bring advanced networking
capabilities comprising BGP Routing, EVPN and VXLAN segmentation,
traffic engineering with Quality of Service, and advanced telemetry
to the cloud-native and public cloud environment.
“Adoption of Arista CloudEOS and CloudVision as-a-Service has
simplified the deployment and management of our AWS environment and
paved the way for our multi-cloud strategy,” said Jody Henry,
Senior Network Engineer at Quantum Health, Inc. “We are able to
rapidly deliver new environments to our application and business
teams through our CI/CD pipeline integrating with CloudVision
as-a-Service.”
By integrating with AWS Transit Gateway Connect, CloudEOS can
simplify remote site-to-cloud and site-to-site connectivity on AWS
using Connect attachment APIs. This integration provides more
seamless provisioning, increased scalability, and a 400 percent
increase in available bandwidth per attachment. This enhanced
capability can provide up to 50 Gbps of bandwidth with fewer
resources (tunnels), and subsequently significantly lower cost.
With support for AWS Transit Gateway Connect, customers can take
advantage of the Arista CloudEOS platform to attain end-to-end
global network infrastructure entirely carried and seamlessly
provisioned over AWS secure cloud networking.
Popular CloudEOS Use Cases
- 1000+ VPC Global Production IT Environment - Arista has
implemented CloudEOS with AWS TGW enabling a large production media
company to scale to 1000s of VPCs deployed globally across regions,
availability zones, and providers on a common network architecture
from the data center to the enterprise backbone to the cloud
- Consistent Segmentation for Regulated Data - a highly
regulated financial services customer has deployed CloudEOS to
provide a consistent segmentation from their multiple public cloud
environments back through their data center and compute facilities
simplifying security, isolation, and monitoring of highly sensitive
data
- Simplifying Cryptographic Integrity and Cloud Security -
a public health provider is taking advantage of CloudEOS simple
cryptographic key generation, distribution, and rotation to
maintain the integrity of their data when transmitting across
multiple public networks and on-premises environments
- Deployments at the Speed of Software - declarative
deployments with Hashicorp Terraform, Red Hat Ansible, and other
NetOps/DevOps automation platforms have enabled the network
provisioning to keep up with the rate of change in a large-scale
distributed IT environment by automating network deployments into
the application development, configuration and deployment
pipeline
