Today, AWS announces the launch of AWS Cloud WAN Routing Policy, a new capability that gives customers greater control over how traffic is routed across their global networks. With this feature, customers can implement sophisticated routing controls for optimizing network performance and build more resilient hybrid architectures using AWS Cloud WAN. This post is the first in a two-part series. In Part 1, we provide an overview of the new capability including top use-cases, benefits, features and basic configuration workflows. In Part 2, we’ll dive deeper into architectural scenarios that demonstrate how to apply Cloud WAN routing policy in complex, large-scale network designs.
Cloud WAN Routing Policy enables customers to apply techniques such as route filtering, summarization, and path manipulation to fine-tune route management in their global networks. Customers can also configure Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) attributes to influence traffic behavior and meet…
