Transit gateway attachment configuration for AWS Network Firewall

This section applies to the use of Network Firewall with a transit gateway in multiple Availability Zones where the firewall endpoints might reside in different Availability Zones than the subnets whose traffic they're filtering.

Note

To use this configuration, you must enable appliance mode on the transit gateway VPC attachment for any VPC where Network Firewall endpoints reside.

A Network Firewall endpoint is a stateful network appliance. Enabling appliance mode ensures that the transit gateway continues to use the same Availability Zone for the VPC attachment over the lifetime of a flow of traffic between source and destination.

For information about VPC transit gateways, see the guide Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Transit Gateways.

For information about appliance mode and how to enable it in your attachments, see Availability Zones and Example: Appliance in a shared services VPC.
