Palo VM with AWS VPC Peering

SuhaimiMohd — Mon, 19 Jun 2023 03:55:39 GMT

Hi,

We have an AWS setup that contains 3 vpcs namely vpc1, vpc2 and vpc3. We intend to configure VPC Peering using Hub and Spoke (Centralized) configuration such that vpc2 will be the hub and vpc1 and vpc3 the spokes. Placement of the VM Firewall will in the hub and in a HA configuration,

Will this VPC peering setup work? Thanks

Hi @SuhaimiMohd ,

Yes, it will work. However general recommendetion is to use Transit Gateway (TGW) instead of VPC peering, mainly becaue TGW provides you with great scalability if you need to add more VPCs in the future. You may want to compare the cost of TGW vs VPC peering, as I don't know the numbers right now.
