AWS Site-to-Site, Direct Connect, and Client VPN

Companies often use cloud services to aid their existing infrastructure. For example, a company might buy storage space from the cloud to store data used by systems on-premises or vice versa. In such scenarios, ensuring a secure connection between your on-premises network and your VPC on the cloud is necessary.

AWS offers multiple services to facilitate secure and simple connections between cloud and on-premise infrastructure. Let’s learn more about these services in detail.

AWS Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN

AWS Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN connects our on-premises resources and VPC on the cloud. It uses the public internet for communication, but the connection is secure and encrypted. Since it works on the public internet, data throughput and latency can vary depending on the internet.
