Frequently Asked Questions about Hybrid Cloud Networking

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design secure hybrid cloud routing between on-premises and cloud environments?

Hybrid cloud routing is designed by configuring BGP route exchange and secure connectivity tunnels like IPsec VPN or WireGuard to link on-premises and cloud environments. This ensures precise traffic management and secure connectivity across your infrastructure.

What is split-horizon DNS and how does it work in hybrid cloud networking?

Split-horizon DNS in hybrid cloud networking manages private DNS zones to resolve internal queries differently based on their origin. It ensures on-premises and cloud environments route DNS traffic securely without exposing private records externally.

How do I troubleshoot packet loss and routing issues in a hybrid cloud setup?

Troubleshoot hybrid cloud packet loss and routing issues using network diagnostic tools like traceroute, mtr, tcpdump, and dig. These tools identify traffic bottlenecks and verify DNS resolution across on-premises and cloud environments.

What is the best way to establish dedicated interconnects for high-throughput hybrid cloud connectivity?

The best way to establish dedicated interconnects for high-throughput hybrid cloud connectivity is using dedicated private connections instead of IPsec VPN. This provides optimized, secure bandwidth for data center to cloud environments.

Do I need BGP to configure routing for IPsec VPN in a hybrid cloud?

You need BGP to configure dynamic routing for IPsec VPN in a hybrid cloud, enabling automatic route exchange between on-premises and cloud environments. Static routing is possible but lacks dynamic failover capabilities.

Why does my WireGuard tunnel drop traffic between on-premises and cloud environments?

Your WireGuard tunnel drops traffic between on-premises and cloud environments due to incorrect routing configurations, firewall security rules blocking UDP traffic, or interface MTU mismatches. Troubleshoot using tcpdump to inspect dropped packets.
