AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) - AWS Transit Gateway

The video tutorial introduces the AWS Transit Gateway, a feature that simplifies the management of VPC connections in large-scale AWS deployments. Previously, VPC peering required individual connections between each VPC, which was cumbersome. The AWS Transit Gateway acts as a central hub, allowing all VPCs and remote networks to connect through a single gateway, reducing complexity and workload. It employs a hub and spoke model, making it easier to manage and control network communications.
