Network Orchestration (Transit Gateway)¶

AWS Network Orchestration via Transit Gateway provides a hub-and-spoke architecture for connecting multiple VPCs and on-premises networks. The solution simplifies network management, enforces routing policies, and enables seamless connectivity across organizational boundaries.

How runbooks Implements Network Orchestration¶

The runbooks vpc group provides Transit Gateway discovery, validation, and topology analysis:

vpc Command Group (Transit Gateway Focus)¶

Command Capability Purpose
runbooks vpc tgw-validate TGW attachment audit Verify all Transit Gateway attachments (VPCs, VPNs) are configured correctly and monitored
runbooks vpc tgw-optimizer Routing analysis Analyze TGW route tables and suggest optimization (reduce overlapping routes, consolidate rules)
runbooks vpc tgw-report Topology visualization Generate Transit Gateway topology diagram showing all connected VPCs, subnets, and routing relationships
runbooks vpc transit-gateway-manager TGW state management Query Transit Gateway attachment state, CIDR compliance, and bandwidth utilization
runbooks vpc orchestrator Multi-account setup Provision Transit Gateway attachments across organization accounts with validation

Code Paths¶

  • TGW validator: runbooks/src/runbooks/vpc/tgw_validator.py
  • Routing optimizer: runbooks/src/runbooks/vpc/tgw_optimizer.py
  • Transit Gateway manager: runbooks/src/runbooks/vpc/transit_gateway_manager.py
  • Orchestration engine: runbooks/src/runbooks/vpc/tgw_orchestrator.py

See the vpc CLI Reference for complete command documentation.

Quality Gate¶

Transit Gateway topology discovery speed: <30 seconds for organizations with ≤50 accounts

Enumerating all Transit Gateway attachments, route tables, and VPC associations must complete within 30 seconds to support real-time CMDB synchronization and network compliance dashboards.

Measured via: runbooks vpc tgw-report --profile $AWS_OPERATIONS_PROFILE --time-limit 30s — generates full topology diagram for multi-account organization with timeout enforcement.

  • Landing Zone Accelerator — Transit Gateway is the recommended network fabric for LZA organizations (landing-zone-accelerator.md)
  • Workload Discovery — VPC topology data enhances application-to-infrastructure mapping (workload-discovery.md)
  • Account Assessment — account inventory provides the account list for TGW attachment enumeration (account-assessment.md)
