We are pleased to announce the release of VPG Type-F2, a new Virtual Private Gateway that provides a simplified private network configuration experience that enables bi-directional IP-based communcation between devices and cloud, as well as several improvements to VPG user interfaces.

VPG Type-F2

VPG Type-F2 is a new Virtual Private Gateway service that utilizes VPC Attachments and Transit Gateway Peering for establishing connections to private networks. Compared to existing VPG Type-F and Type-G services, Type-F2 allows you to build a secure environment for communication from servers to devices with substantially less network setup required and fewer dependencies. Type-F2 also supports VPN connections and dedicated line connections, enabling connections not only to cloud networks but also on-premise or corporate networks, and opening up capabilities for more advanced network configurations.

While we are launching VPG Type-F2 today, VPG Type-F and Type-G will remain available, and customers can continue using their existing VPGs.

To learn more about VPG Type-F2, please visit the VPG Type-F2 documentation. Pricing information is also available in the Pricing & Fee Schedule.

Limitations

At this time, VPG Type-F2 support for SIM-Based Routing functionality is not yet available, but is planned for the near future.

New VPG user interfaces

As we expand VPG options, we have also taken this opportunity to improve the VPG interfaces in the User Console. Now when creating a VPG, you will see a table listing features supported by each VPG, allowing you to more easily choose the right option for your network and application requirements.

We have also made several improvements to VPG configuration screens to better organize settings and options.
