We are excited to announce the new capability for native connectivity from AWS and Azure environments to Cisco Secure Access, enabling customers to terminate IPsec (site-to-site VPN) tunnels directly using native cloud elements without the need for deploying virtual routers or firewalls.
Key Highlights:
- AWS Native Integration: Customers can now deploy site-to-site VPN tunnels from their Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) directly to Cisco Secure Access using transit gateways and customer gateways in AWS. This integration supports tunnel redundancy and high availability, ensuring secure and reliable branch site connections to AWS resources. Routing is managed via BGP, allowing seamless advertisement of routes between AWS and Cisco Secure Access for protected access to AWS workloads.
- Azure Native Integration: Similarly, customers can establish site-to-site VPN tunnels from Azure to Cisco Secure Access using Azure's native VPN gateway capabilities. This supports high availability and redundancy, with BGP routing to dynamically exchange routes between Azure and Cisco Secure Access, securing connectivity to Azure workloads.
This enhancement simplifies cloud connectivity by leveraging native cloud VPN gateways, reducing complexity and operational overhead for customers connecting their public cloud environments to Cisco Secure Access.
We encourage customers to explore these new native connectivity options.
