About the AWS Cloud WAN

AWS Cloud WAN is a centralized service that simplifies the building, managing, and monitoring of global wide area networks (WANs) that connect data centers, branch offices, and Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). It provides a declarative policy model to automate network segmentation, access controls, and traffic routing, while AWS manages the underlying network configuration. The service integrates with AWS Network Manager, offering a central dashboard with visualizations including world maps, network topology, health, and event monitoring. Cloud WAN supports automated VPC and connection attachments, network segmentation for isolating traffic, and service insertion for centralized security inspection across Amazon VPCs, regions, on-premises sites, and internet gateways. It handles IPv4 and IPv6 traffic and is designed for enterprises needing scalable, secure, and simplified global network operations across multi-region AWS deployments and hybrid cloud architectures.
