The AWS Virtual Private Gateway (VGW) is flexible, and integral to many of the AWS-native network backbone features exposed to users. However, it has some significant throughput drawbacks - in testing, we only see about about 640Mbps, or about 80MBps. And beyond that, flows seem to be limited to 400Mbps each, so utilizing the full 640Mbps requires multi-threading on the part of the application. The To be fair to AWS, they do offer a pretty significant asterisk on the 1.25Gbps throughput claim. If you're paying for a 10Gbps Direct Connect (DX), you're probably not too happy about being limited to 6.4% of the speed you thought you were getting. Or even 12.5%, if you get closer to the theoretical 1.25Gbps speed Amazon claims the VGW can push. The real answer here is to use a Private Virtual InterFace (PVIF). But PVIFs have security drawbacks - they have none. The AWS security model is based around endpoint security ONLY - Network ACLs (NACLs) and Security Groups (SGs) are all that you get. Other features are coming online over time, but there are many reasons network interconnect filtering might be required. Here are a few examples, by no means an You're noticing the trend here. The AWS-native toolkit isn't great here, so partners have stepped up, Cisco among them. The Cisco ASAv is a virtual machine that emulates the feature-set of the eponymous Cisco ASA series. Right now the highest throughput supported in AWS (or any other cloud) is 2Gbps with an ASAv30. It's still only 20% of the 10Gbps DX your company is springing for, but it's closer, and the security gains from deploying it are oceans away from the nothing-nada-none interconnect security on the AWS-native options.  The Cisco ASAv50, which would help us utilize 100% of the 10Gbps DX at our hypothetical company, isn't yet available on the public cloud. throughput as the highest yet available. Fingers crossed it becomes available over time. None, enough prologue. Let's build this thing. First, go the AWS Markplace page for the ASAv and subscribe. There are two options:
