Goals

The purpose of this guide is to create four distributed networks and combine them into one highly available logically connected network.

  • Build with the top three cloud vendors (aws.amazon.com, azure.microsoft.com, cloud.google.com) and one On-Premise (pfsense.org) network

  • Dynamic routing between Autonomous Systems (AS) using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
  • Encrypt network traversal over Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnels using Internet Protocol Security (IPSec)
