AWS Transit Gateway connects your Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and on-premises networks through a central hub. This connection simplifies your network and puts an end to complex peering relationships. Transit Gateway acts as a highly scalable cloud router—each new connection is made only once.
Use OpsRamp AWS Public Cloud Integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS Transit Gateway.
