AWS Cloud WAN adds Routing Policy for advanced traffic control and flexible network deployments

AWS announces the general availability of Cloud WAN Routing Policy providing customers fine-grained controls to optimize route management, control traffic patterns, and customize network behavior across their global wide-area networks.

AWS Cloud WAN allows you to build, monitor, and manage a unified global network that interconnects your resources in the AWS cloud and your on-premises environments. Using the new Routing Policy feature, customers can perform advanced routing techniques such as route filtering and summarization to have better control on routes exchanged between AWS Cloud WAN and external networks. This feature enables customers to build controlled routing environments to minimize route reachability blast radius, prevent sub-optimal or asymmetric connectivity patterns, and avoid over-running of route-tables due to propagation of unnecessary routes in global networks. In addition, this feature allows customers to set advanced Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) attributes to customize network traffic behavior per their individual needs and build highly resilient hybrid-cloud network architectures. This feature also provides advanced visibility in the routing databases to allow rapid troubleshooting of network issues in complex multi-path environments.

The new Routing Policy feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Cloud WAN is available. You can enable these features using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) and the AWS Software Development Kit (SDK). There is no additional charge for enabling Routing Policy on AWS Cloud WAN. For more information, see the AWS Cloud WAN documentation pages.
