A cloud-agnostic solution that simplifies multi-cloud connectivity and enhances security
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
One of the aspects I found most valuable is its ability to make changes and roll them back quickly. In an AWS context, you could connect a couple of virtual private clouds, even if they weren't originally meant to be linked. What I particularly appreciated was that it was cloud-agnostic, so it didn't matter if you were working with AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud; it seamlessly operated across different cloud providers. Within the Aviatrix ecosystem, you could connect different clouds, and the intricacies of low-level commands and configurations were abstracted away.
What needs improvement?
There can be a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with it or multi-cloud networking concepts. Training and support may be necessary to fully leverage its capabilities.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have worked with it for approximately two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I found it to be a stable product.
How are customer service and support?
Occasionally, I had to consult the Aviatrix online forums for guidance when things didn't go as planned. Its community was helpful during these troubleshooting moments.
How was the initial setup?
I encountered some issues during the initial setup, largely because I didn't follow the step-by-step instructions diligently. I made changes directly within my AWS account, which led to some complications with the scripts provided for setting up and tearing down lab environments. This approach caused the script to break at various points, and I had to manually troubleshoot and debug the issues. Overall, it is generally straightforward, but it requires precise adherence to the provided steps.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It operates on a consumption-based model and the expenses depend on factors such as the number of virtual machines you use and the resources consumed. The basic license costs were reasonable.
Besides being a consumption based model, the license cost for the Aviatrix software is high, so it could be a significant financial challenge.
What other advice do I have?
In the realm of multi-cloud networking, I would suggest conducting a search for "multi-cloud networking" to explore the landscape of available solutions. Instead of investing significant time in writing scripts and manually establishing these connections, Aviatrix offers a more streamlined approach to join these diverse cloud environments, so I would recommend it.
