What is the difference between VPN and Direct Connect/ExpressRoute in this skill?

The skill differentiates between cost-effective, internet-based VPNs for moderate bandwidth and dedicated, private fiber connections for high-performance, low-latency needs.

Which cloud providers does this skill support?

The skill provides patterns and configurations for the three major providers: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Does this skill include Infrastructure as Code examples?

Yes, it includes standardized Terraform (HCL) blocks for provisioning VPN gateways, customer gateways, and virtual network connections across different platforms.

Can it help with high availability for my network?

Absolutely. It covers HA patterns such as dual VPN tunnels, active-active BGP configurations, and redundant private circuit implementations.
