Information About AWS GovCloud (US) Integration
Minimum supported releases: Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Release 17.9.1a, Cisco vManage Release 20.9.1
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Cloud OnRamp for Multicloud extends support for AWS GovCloud (US), allowing you to store and manage your highly sensitive workloads in AWS GovCloud (US).
The following are examples of highly sensitive workloads that you can store in AWS GovCloud (US):
-
Controller Unclassified Information (CUI)
-
Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
-
Sensitive patient medical records
-
Financial data
-
Law enforcement data
-
Export data
The same features and workflow that are available for the AWS integration are also available with the AWS GovCloud (US) integration with the exception of support for the Transit Gateway Network Manager (TGNM).
Note |
The TGNM is supported for AWS, but the TGNM is not supported for AWS GovCloud (US). |
A transit gateway is a network transit hub that you can use to interconnect your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and on-premises networks. You can attach a VPC or a VPN connection to a transit gateway. The transit gateway acts as a virtual router for traffic flowing between your VPC and VPN connections. The transit gateway provides a way to interconnect VPCs and VPNs.
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Cloud OnRamp for Multicloud uses the AWS Transit Gateway to connect your branch devices to the AWS GovCloud (US). A configuration wizard in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Cloud OnRamp for Multicloud automates the bring-up of the transit gateway to your AWS GovCloud (US) account and automates the connections between AWS GovCloud (US) applications and branch users in the overlay network.
For more information on the AWS GovCloud, see the AWS GovCloud (US) documentation.
Configure Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Cloud OnRamp for Multicloud with AWS GovCloud (US) using Cisco SD-WAN Manager.
