Event:
2024-11-11 07:00:00
Expected Duration:
2024-11-11 09:00:00
Status:
Closed
Brief Description:
Security Group referencing will be enabled on the Transit Gateways that support Direct Connect and VPC-to-VPC connectivity for private Cornell network segments in Cornell AWS accounts.
User Impact:
No impact
Services Affected:
Cloudification
Full Description:
AWS recently released the option of allowing Security Group referencing on Transit Gateways. This allows you to create inbound security rules that reference security groups defined in other AWS VPCs attached to a Transit Gateway within the same region. These cross-gateway references allow finer control of incoming traffic compared the CIDR-block scoping. See this announcement from AWS for more information.

This is an expansion of functionality, and no existing network functionality will be changed. For details about Direct Connect and Transit Gateway configuration in Cornell AWS accounts refer to this Confluence page.
