Optimize AWS Transit Gateway Usage

AWS Transit Gateway simplifies network architecture by connecting multiple VPCs and on-premises networks through a centralized hub—but it's easy to incur unnecessary costs if not managed properly. Learn how Kentik provides deep visibility into your AWS Transit Gateway usage, quickly highlighting expensive or inefficient traffic patterns. Using Kentik's Data Explorer, we show how to identify unnecessary intra-VPC traffic that's adding costs and potentially degrading performance. Kentik's advanced analytics, powered by VPC and Transit Gateway flow logs, can help optimize your AWS infrastructure, improve efficiency, and reduce cloud costs.
