What it shows

  • Point-to-point VPC peering requires N*(N-1)/2 connections, which scales poorly.
  • Transit Gateway operates as an elastic cloud router consolidating all attachments.
  • Route domain segmentation allows isolating Prod from Dev across all VPCs.

The takeaway

Replace complex point-to-point VPC peering with a centralized Transit Gateway hub.
