More Than Just Speeds and Feeds: Architecting Cloud Connectivity for Campus Workloads
Hybrid cloud is a buzzy term, but in reality, campuses need stable, high bandwidth connectivity until all campus workloads are cloudy. A highly-connected campus workload needs to communicate between the campus and public clouds for the migration, and in most cases, for significantly longer. These are often legacy or regulated workloads that require an additional level of control.
In this webinar, learn how colleagues at UNC Charlotte are leveraging advanced AWS networking functionality to centrally manage a sprawling cloud environment, by leveraging services like Transit Gateway and VPC Peering to solve their connectivity to the cloud. And, how campuses can create stable, high-bandwidth connectivity between the campus and public clouds with Internet2 NET+ AWS and Cloud Connect.
In a recent webinar, we explored how AWS Organizations can be used to structure cloud infrastructure, but taken in isolation, AWS Organizations is only part of the puzzle. Internet2 NET+ AWS and Cloud Connect create a private, consolidated link to connect your campus to AWS.
Deploying both AWS Organizations and Cloud Connect drives a community conversation on the complexity of hybrid networking, monitoring, firewalling, and logging implementations (see the Cloud Architecture wiki). This webinar is just the beginning of this conversation to collectively address these challenges, rather than repeatedly, independently, and differently.
In future webinars, Brian and other community guests will deep dive into additional ways to wire up your AWS environment to make scaling to the cloud easier. These include how the InCommon Trusted Access Platform can be integrated with AWS.

Jesse Beauman
Assistant Vice Chancellor for Enterprise Infrastructure, UNC Charlotte
Jesse will share experience implementing networking in AWS. He will also discuss how UNC Charlotte is leveraging advanced AWS networking functionality to centrally manage a sprawling cloud environment, and how they're leveraging services like Transit Gateway and VPC Peering to solve their connectivity to the cloud.
Don Lattimore
Network Specialist, UNC Charlotte
Don has been fascinated with Networking since the early days of LAN networking in the 1980s, and is grateful to be a part of a new era of challenges and opportunities presented by the intersection of networking and cloud based technologies. His responsibilities include Load balancing, Cloud network architecture and network operational support. In recent years, cloud architectures and their integration with the enterprise have become a primary area of focus and responsibility.
Brian Beach
Principal Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services
Brian focuses on helping Higher Education customers transition to AWS and will present an overview of the current networking functionality available in AWS Organizations. Brian will introduce Transit Gateway, which enables campuses to connect their Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and their on-premise networks (or other cloud providers via Internet2 Cloud Connect) to a single gateway router, and VPC Peering, a service that enables a networking connection to privately route IPv4 or IPv6 traffic between two VPCs.
