In this interactive talk, we try to make the decision-making process of each of these options known. We do this by using a decision tree-like method while still capturing the do's and donts of VPC peering, transit VPC, AWS PrivateLink, AWS Direct Connect, and so on.

General guidelines
We will focus on don'ts
Dos are all about your needs; let’s focus on the use case, not corner case
Don’ts are to keep you out of trouble and reduce frustrations
There is never one answer
Very few scenarios have just one answer; many times, several patterns fit
Many times, you need to combine patterns for the best outcome
Let’s focus on your use cases versus patterns
Don’t get stuck on a corner case; make the best fit
