AWS Site-to-Site VPN now supports modifying tunnel bandwidth on existing VPN connections

AWS Site-to-Site VPN now supports modifying tunnel bandwidth between standard (up to 1.25 Gbps) and large (up to 5 Gbps) on existing connections, making it easier to update your VPN connections’ bandwidth per your organization’s need.

Previously, changing tunnel bandwidth required deleting and recreating the connection, which generated new tunnel IP addresses and meant updating your on-premises VPN device configuration and firewall rules. With this launch, tunnels are upgraded while preserving your IP addresses, CIDR blocks, pre-shared keys, and all configuration settings, eliminating the need to make any changes to your on-premises device.

This feature is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (N. California), AWS GovCloud (US-West), Europe (Frankfurt, London, Paris, Spain, Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Hyderabad, Jakarta, Malaysia, Mumbai, New Zealand, Osaka, Seoul, Sydney, Taipei, Thailand, Tokyo), Africa (Cape Town), Mexico (Central), and South America (São Paulo).
