Many application workloads are housed in public clouds  such as those offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud. Aruba SD-WAN greatly enhances the use of these public clouds by making it easy to connect to virtual private cloud instances, thus optimizing the networking of the hosted workloads by providing complete lifecycle management and orchestration of connectivity policies. In order to do this, Aruba’s SD-WAN solution makes use of the Aruba Virtual Gateway, which serves as an entry point into the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environments that a given customer may have within a public cloud provider such as AWS. Aruba provides a simple automated way to spin up and manage Aruba Virtual Gateways, thus making it easy for branch locations to easily connect to VPCs and access workloads in the cloud while benefiting from SD-WAN functionality to improve application performance.
