You’ll see a demonstration of the best practices we’ve gleaned from working with operations teams, who all require: Visibility. Do you have a way to centrally view your network, see performance bottlenecks, control security policies, and set other configuration details? Deep Analytics. Can you easily gather performance and audit data and export it to Splunk, DataDog, or other advanced reporting tools? Monitoring and Troubleshooting. Do you have a real-time view of network health, and how easily can you access the data needed to locate and fix issues? Alert Management. When issues do occur, what real-time alerting is available?

• Users are reporting a performance problem with an app.
- How can I quickly validate if the network is not the problem?
• I can’t ping an instance; connectivity is broken.
- Where do I start troubleshooting? A routing problem? Security problem? Connectivity problem?
• Can I spot latency, throughput, or connectivity issues before users notice?
• A request came in today for creating and connecting new AWS account and a few VPCs
- And it needs to be done by the end of the day
• My management is challenging me to optimize throughput.
- How do I establish the past year’s trends?
• Compliance auditors are coming next week.
- Can I produce reports showing who accessed what cloud resources, when, and from where?

Why Does it Matter?
- Cloud deployment changes and evolves. More AWS accounts need to
be created; more VPCs need to be created; more connections need to
be built
- Automation helps simplify and reduce errors which is critically
important for successful handing over to Operations team.
What Does AWS Provide Natively?
- AWS provides Virtual Private Gateway (VGW)
- A third-party vendor device is needed to deploy a Global Transit
Network
What is Missing?
- Central Controller, APIs & Terraform / CFT
1. Deploy & Build out

8. © 2017 AVIATRIX SYSTEMS, INC. | 8© 2017 AVIATRIX SYSTEMS, INC. | 8
Why Does it Matter?
- Automated Alerts: You want to be the first person to know when
there is a network problem
- For successful operations, you need network focused monitors –
latency, throughput, scale, status etc.
What Does AWS Provide Natively?
- AWS CloudWatch
- AWS VPC Flow Logs
What is Missing?
- Central view of your network
- Ability to see performance bottlenecks like latency
2. Visibility & Monitoring

9. © 2017 AVIATRIX SYSTEMS, INC. | 9© 2017 AVIATRIX SYSTEMS, INC. | 9
Why Does it Matter?
- Whenever there is an issue, the network is always the
first to be blamed
- When the network is down, business shuts down
What Does AWS Provide Natively?
- AWS Console
- AWS X-Ray
- AWS VPC Flow Logs
What is Missing?
- Networking-focused troubleshooting tool
3. Troubleshooting

10. © 2017 AVIATRIX SYSTEMS, INC. | 10© 2017 AVIATRIX SYSTEMS, INC. | 10
Why Does it Matter?
- Audit and logs for compliance
- Analytics for insights
What Does AWS Provide Natively?
- AWS CloudTrail
- AWS Flowlog
What is Missing?
- Built-in SOC2 compliance report (who accessed what, when, and from
where)
- Performance and audit data that’s easy to gather.
- Integration with enterprise logging tools (Splunk, Sumo Logic, etc.)
4. Analytics & Logging
