VPG stands for Virtual Private Gateway, which is a networking component in Amazon Web Services (AWS). A VPG is used to establish a secure and private connection between an organization’s on-premises network and their AWS virtual private cloud (VPC).
A VPG acts as a gateway device that provides access to the VPC over an encrypted VPN connection. This allows users to securely connect to their AWS resources from their on-premises network, while also allowing resources within the VPC to communicate with each other.
The VPG can be configured with multiple VPN connections for redundancy and high availability. It also supports Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing, which enables dynamic routing between the on-premises network and the VPC.
Overall, a VPG provides a way for organizations to extend their existing data center infrastructure into the cloud while maintaining security and control over their resources.
