Summary

AWS Transit Gateway (TGW) offers a solution for simplifying and scaling cloud network management by centralizing network topology and reducing the need for numerous VPC peering connections, particularly in multi-region and multi-cloud setups. Timescale Cloud now supports TGW, allowing users to manage their AWS-based systems more efficiently by connecting multiple networks through a hub-and-spoke model, enhancing security and performance while lowering operational complexity. TGW provides seamless hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity with centralized security and traffic control, offering an alternative to existing options like IP allow lists and VPC peering. The implementation in Timescale Cloud ensures single-tenant isolation and strict network controls, with AWS PrivateLink integration to safeguard connections. This development enables users to integrate databases into scalable and secure network topologies within AWS, providing a flexible and manageable networking solution.
