AWS's new Amazon VPC Route Server enhances dynamic routing in virtual private clouds (VPCs) by allowing developers to utilize the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for advertising routing information. This advanced feature automatically updates VPC and internet gateway route tables, improving routing fault tolerance for workloads. Key aspects include support for various route tables, automatic updates based on BGP attributes, and failover capabilities using Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD). The service can greatly benefit complex network architectures, particularly for public sector clients, but its cost has raised some concerns among developers.
AWS has introduced Amazon VPC Route Server, which simplifies dynamic routing in VPCs using BGP to enhance routing fault tolerance and reliability.
This new feature allows for automatic updates to route tables based on BGP peer information and offers propagation of the best routes according to BGP metrics.
