Last year, we launched Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Ingress Routing to allow routing of all incoming and outgoing traffic to/from an Internet Gateway (IGW) or Virtual Private Gateway (VGW) to the Elastic Network Interface of a specific Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance. With VPC Ingress Routing, you can now configure your VPC to send all traffic to an EC2 instance that typically runs network security tools to inspect or to block suspicious network traffic or to perform any other network traffic inspection before relaying the traffic to other EC2 instances.

While that makes it easy to add an appliance into the network, ensuring high availability and scalability remains a challenge. Customers have to either over-provision appliances to handle peak load and high availability, or they have to manually scale up and down the appliances based on traffic, or use other ancillary tools – all of which increases operational overhead and costs.
