What to look for when creating secure, auditable peering within AWS VPCs?

Why does it matter?

• There is a need for application segmentation depending on security rules, business units, cost centers and mission criticality. Thus, smaller VPCs are preferred. This leads to a comprehensive connectivity requirement across VPCs.
• There is a need for central security enforcement that implements firewall policies for cross VPC traffic.
• There is a need for enterprise grade encryption based on private keys when communicating across VPCs.

What to look for?

• For maximum cloud infrastructure agility, there is a need for orchestration of connectivity, route table updates, and firewall policies and active monitoring.
• Should be able to use non-shared keys for encryption.
• Should be able to visualize and log packet statistics for mission critical application traffic.
• Should be able to monitor and alert on peering status.
• Should be easy to troubleshoot with advanced capabilities like packet capture.
