Solved: Anyone not using hub and spoke?
🚀 Executive Summary TL;DR: Traditional hub-and-spoke cloud networking often creates bottlenecks and increases the blast radius of misconfigurations as organizations scale. The article explores alternatives like direct VPC peering for specific high-bandwidth needs, modern hub-and-spoke with AWS Transit Gateway for scalable solutions, and multi-hub or Cloud WAN for global enterprises to overcome these limitations. 🎯 Key Takeaways Classic hub-and-spoke architectures can become central bottlenecks, increase the blast radius of misconfigurations, and introduce bureaucratic delays for network changes. Direct VPC peering is a quick, low-latency solution for a small number of VPCs (2-4) with high-traffic requirements, but its overuse leads to unmanageable ‘spaghetti networking’. AWS Transit Gateway (TGW) offers a modern, scalable hub-and-spoke solution, eliminating bottlenecks, providing granular routing, and efficiently handling spoke-to-spoke communication. For large, multi-region enterprise
