• #3: On premise storage integration with AWS data storage services. Business continuity with hot standby on AWS DR as a Service with VMWare Cloud on AWS
• #5: Networking is foundational to all hybrid cloud use cases. 1. Amazon Virtual Privat Cloud (VPC) lets you provision a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud where you can launch AWS resources. Can contain public subenets (accessible from internet) and private subnets (accessible from within AWS or through a VPN). 2. DirectConnect, is a Private connection, Separate from the Internet that provides Port speeds of 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps or sub-1 Gbps. If you have bandwidth-heavy workloads that you wish to run in AWS, AWS Direct Connect can reduce your network costs into and out of AWS. 3. VPN - IPsec authentication and encryption through IPSec or SSL through third parties Three options :AWS Managed VPN, Software VPN (EC2) – Cisco CSR on marketplace, openswan, openvpn Amazon VPC Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) lets you provision a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud where you can launch AWS resources in a virtual network that you define. You have complete control over your virtual networking environment, including selection of your own IP address range, creation of subnets, and configuration of route tables and network gateways. Additionally, you can create a Hardware VPN connection between your corporate data center and your VPC to leverage the AWS Cloud as an extension of your corporate datacenter. Learn more »  AWS Direct Connect AWS Direct Connect makes it easy to establish a dedicated network connection from your premises to AWS. Using AWS Direct Connect, you can establish private connectivity between AWS and your data center, office, or colocation environment, which in many cases can reduce your network costs, increase bandwidth throughput, and provide a more consistent network experience than Internet-based connections. This dedicated connection can be partitioned into multiple virtual interfaces to maintain network separation between public and private environments. Learn more »  Integrated Networking The next layer of hybrid architecture involves connecting on-premises and cloud resources through a common network to facilitate the creation of a single enterprise environment. AWS can extend your on-premises network configuration into your virtual private networks on the AWS Cloud so that AWS resources operate as if they are part of your existing corporate network. You can also extend your physical connectivity to provide dedicated, consistent, private networking between your data centers and the AWS regions of your choice.
• #6: 4. IAM - Users for authentation using password plus MFA accessing from AWS console, or have access keys when using the AWS APIs. Groups to combine ’like’ users – developers, finance, operators etc. 5. AWS SSO - AWS Single Sign-On (SSO) is a cloud SSO service that makes it easy to centrally manage SSO access to multiple AWS accounts and business applications., you can create Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 integrations to third party apps. 6. AWS Microsoft AD Connector - Active . Directory Connector gives you an easy way to establish a trusted relationship between your Active Directory and AWS. You continue to run MS AD on-premises. 7. AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory, also known as AWS Microsoft AD, enables your directory-aware workloads and AWS resources to use managed Active Directory in the AWS Cloud. AWS Microsoft AD is built on actual Microsoft Active Directory and does not require you to synchronize ---------------------------------- Extra notes….. Integrated Identity and Access Establishing a single identity and access strategy often goes hand-in-hand with integrating networks. You can create and manage AWS users, groups, and permissions to allow and deny access to AWS resources at extremely fine level of detail. Additionally, AWS offers managed services that allow you to connect your AWS resources with an existing on-premises Microsoft Active Directory and manage policies with existing tools. Public Internet – public IPs assigned to compute by AWS or Elastic Ips that are generated by AWS can be moved to different VMs AWS using Customer gateway and virtual private gateway or Software managed using OpenVPN, Cisco CSR on AWS Marketplace (prepacked AWS Machine Image) Private connection through 67 locations offering speeds of up to 10Gbps, does not use internet, consistent performance. Can be a lower overall cost because of low data transfer out costs.
