Why Automate VPC Networking?
AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networking encompasses provisioning cloud infrastructure with configuration of the subnets, route tables, internet gateways, ACLs, and security access groups. As businesses continue to expand or migrate towards leveraging cloud infrastructure, involving the network team in automating cloud networks in a necessity, as businesses will not have consistency over the configuration of security, routing, and basic features, which can degrade application performance, create outages, or expose the organization to security risks.
Network automation can help to:
- Enablement of cloud network services management by the network team.
- Secure and repeatable method of creating, modifying, and deleting VPCs.
- Uniform configuration of routing policies for devices and services.
- Consistency in application of security policies across on-prem and cloud networks.
- Enable faster deployments, mitigate risks of configuration errors, and provide an audit of changes.
