# Virtual Private Network (VPC)

A VPN (site-to-site) is mainly used in organizations that need to connect infrastructure in different geographical locations through a secure link to transmit information.

Modyo Connect allows configuring site-to-site VPN links using AWS VPN connections (opens new window) within the AWS VPC (opens new window) network configured for the client. Once the link is established, microservices can establish direct connections to infrastructure and services deployed from the client side.

# Activation Steps

To request a VPC link from AWS to an external infrastructure, a requirement ticket must be created in the Modyo Support Center (opens new window) stating:

  • IP address to which the link should be created.
  • Technical contact of the person responsible for establishing the link.

Link redundancy

Clients with multi-region redundancy may require the configuration of several simultaneous links. It is the client's responsibility to ensure the availability of all these links in case a failover is required.

Support for manufacturers

Amazon AWS provides support and configuration examples for many network device manufacturers. In case of problems establishing the link, Modyo will support by raising a support ticket to AWS.

AWS VPC Peering

For links to client infrastructures deployed within AWS, VPC Peering can be used, which provides a secure and convenient link between two different VPCs, without requiring the configuration of VPN links.
