If you're running in VPC (and you should be by now), what is your network reliability strategy? This talk proposes a method of building flexible, redundant networking for VPC that goes far beyond a single NAT router per VPC. CloudFormation + boto + BGP come together in beautiful harmony for an architecture that you can depend on. Learn about the architecture, our implementation in Python and grab the scripts to run your own. Warren Turkel is a Site Reliability Engineer at SignalFuse, a stealth startup in San Mateo, CA. He works to provide infrastructure components like SaltStack and Docker in a production environment. Warren has been working with AWS for about 3 years and has used the boto library to write many tools used at SignalFuse. He previously worked at companies heavily invested in cloud technologies, such as Ooyala and Google.
