AWS Fundamentals: AWS Cloud WAN Explained in 12 Minutes

In this AWS Fundamentals video, we break down AWS Cloud WAN and walk through how it helps you build a centralized global network across AWS regions using a single policy-driven model.

You’ll learn what Cloud WAN is, why teams use it, where it fits compared with more traditional networking approaches, and how to think about core concepts like centralized control, segmentation, and cross-region connectivity.

To make it practical, I also walk through a hands-on example where we deploy VPCs in us-east-1 and us-west-2, attach them into a single AWS Cloud WAN core network, and verify connectivity across the environment.
