So it turns out AWS isn’t so Enterprise friendly. If you plan to start using Amazon AWS as an extension to your datacentre, be aware that you better put everything in one VPC (July 2015).

Systems in peered VPCs are not accessible from corporate network over AWS VPN or Direct Connect :-(

Be aware of limitations on transiting VPCs in your cloud networking designs.

Hi I’ve been designing, deploying, securing and maintaining IT infrastructures for a long time and thought it was time I shared back with the community that has helped me so much. I’m currently working within the financial sector in London. I got some vendor certifications along the way (Microsof Cyber Security Architect Expert, Amazon AWS Architect Pro, ISC Certified Cloud Security Professional, Microsoft MCSE, VMware VCP, Cisco CCNA).
