Hello, <br />
<br />
I am wondering if there is a simple GUI based way to configure within AWS VPC a VPN endpoint or concentrator to allow for the connecting of multiple VPCs (yes, in different accounts and region's) together, without having to resort to a OpenVPN linux instances, or other third party software that has to be loaded onto an AMI ? &nbsp;IE something more professional, GUI based and built into the Amazon VPC network stack itself. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I know AWS VPC has some sort of IPSec VPN gateway, that appears to be designed for connecting, remote office's hardware based appliances into VPN, but nothing that would allow for different VPC to VPC mesh in one to one, one to many, many to many topologies. &nbsp;Without having to use at least a few third party applications and spinning up dedicated instances to serve this up.<br />
<br />
This is not ideal, so I am guessing I am probably missing something.<br />
<br />
Thanks for any insight you can offer.

AWS VPC to VPC VPN Connections?

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Amazon Web Services (AWS), is a collection of remote computing services, also called web services, that make up a cloud-computing platform  operated from 11 geographical regions across the world. The most central and well-known of these services include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, also known as "EC2", and Amazon Simple Storage Service, also known as "S3". Other services include Elastic MapReduce (EMR), Route 53 (a DNS web service),  provides a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), storage, database, deployment and application services.

Cloud computing, also known as on-demand computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing where shared resources and information are provided to computers and other devices. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers, relying on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale.
