The blog post guides readers through creating a hub-and-spoke network architecture in AWS, focusing on centralized egress and traffic inspection using Pulumi, an infrastructure as code tool. It describes the process of setting up spoke VPCs as Pulumi component resources, testing centralized egress, and implementing traffic inspection with AWS Network Firewall. The post emphasizes the benefits of using Pulumi to manage complex infrastructure through real programming languages, facilitating the logical grouping of resources and efficient code organization. It also provides a practical example of testing centralized egress by deploying a sample workload and verifying that traffic routes correctly through the inspection VPC's NAT gateway. The post concludes by highlighting the cost-saving and policy enforcement advantages of a centralized hub-and-spoke architecture, inviting readers to learn more about Pulumi through workshops and community engagement.
