Secure Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) with AWS Network Firewall
AWS Network Firewall secures Amazon EVS environments by inspecting all traffic across hybrid cloud architectures. A 2025 implementation demonstrates centralized inspection of east-west and north-south traffic using Transit Gateway.
Why This Matters
Traditional security models struggle with hybrid environments, creating fragmented policies and increased attack surfaces. AWS Network Firewall addresses this by providing a single inspection point across VPCs, on-premises data centers, and the internet, reducing operational overhead by 40% in multi-VPC scenarios (AWS, 2025).
Key Insights
- “Centralized inspection architecture across EVS, VPCs, and on-premises networks, 2025”
- “Transit Gateway native integration simplifies firewall deployment for hybrid workloads”
- “AWS Network Firewall used by enterprises managing VMware Cloud Foundation on AWS”
Practical Applications
- Use Case: Financial institutions securing VMware workloads across AWS and on-premises data centers
- Pitfall: Misconfigured route tables bypassing inspection, leading to undetected threats in east-west traffic
