Configure secure, high-performance connectivity between on-premises and cloud environments using VPN, Direct Connect, and ExpressRoute.
## Purpose
Establish secure, reliable network connectivity between on-premises data centers and cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP).
## When to Use
- Connect on-premises to cloud
- Extend datacenter to cloud
- Implement hybrid active-active setups
- Meet compliance requirements
- Migrate to cloud gradually
## Connection Options
### AWS Connectivity
#### 1. Site-to-Site VPN
- IPSec VPN over internet
- Up to 1.25 Gbps per tunnel
- Cost-effective for moderate bandwidth
- Higher latency, internet-dependent
```hcl
resource "aws_vpn_gateway" "main" {
vpc_id = aws_vpc.main.id
tags = {
Name = "main-vpn-gateway"
}
}
resource "aws_customer_gateway" "main" {
bgp_asn = 65000
ip_address = "203.0.113.1"
type = "ipsec.1"
}
resource "aws_vpn_connection" "main" {
vpn_gateway_id = aws_vpn_gateway.main.id
customer_gateway_id = aws_customer_gateway.main.id
type = "ipsec.1"
static_routes_only = false
}
```
#### 2. AWS Direct Connect
- Dedicated network connection
- 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps
- Lower latency, consistent bandwidth
- More expensive, setup time required
**Reference:** See `references/direct-connect.md`
### Azure Connectivity
#### 1. Site-to-Site VPN
```hcl
resource "azurerm_virtual_network_gateway" "vpn" {
name = "vpn-gateway"
location = azurerm_resource_group.main.location
resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.main.name
type = "Vpn"
vpn_type = "RouteBased"
sku = "VpnGw1"
ip_configuration {
name = "vnetGatewayConfig"
public_ip_address_id = azurerm_public_ip.vpn.id
private_ip_address_allocation = "Dynamic"
subnet_id = azurerm_subnet.gateway.id
}
}
```
#### 2. Azure ExpressRoute
- Private connection via connectivity provider
- Up
