Cloud Networking - The Common Journey

Overview
Join cloud experts Neel Kumar and Mike McLaughin from Aviatrix for a technical chalk talk on how you can solve some of the common issues that can occur when running cloud networking at scale. This group of chalk talks and technical demonstrations provides a practical reference for how to solve complex cloud networking challenges. First we outline the common architectures and issues faced when scaling cloud architectures, then we workshop a transititive architecture use case defining best practices and design patterns. We discuss multi-cloud implementation, provider limits, hub and spoke architecture patterns, VPN and connectivity.  Next we set up a transitive controller in the AWS console with two instructional demos. 

Prerequisites
an understanding of Cloud networking and the AWS Virtual Private Cloud will help you gain the most from this Chalk Talk.
We recommend completing the following Learning path to gain the practical knowledge and hands-on experience if you are not familiar with cloud networking and the virtual private cloud. AWS Networking and Content Delivery 

Intended Audience
This course will suit anyone running or planning to run cloud services at scale.
