[Amazon Web Services (AWS) Transit Gateway](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/tgw/how-transit-gateways-work.html) acts as a Regional virtual router for traffic flowing between your virtual private cloud(s) (VPCs) and on-premises networks. You can attach different resources to your Transit Gateway which include:
12+
13+
- One or more VPCs
14+
- One or more virtual private network (VPN) connections
15+
- One or more AWS Direct Connect gateways
16+
- One or more Transit Gateway Connect attachments
17+
- One or more transit gateway peering connections
18+
19+
You can connect your Redis flexible subscription to a Transit Gateway which is attached to the VPC of your application. This lets your application connect securely to your Redis Cloud database while optimizing performance.
20+
21+
{{< note >}}
22+
Transit Gateway is available only with Flexible or Annual subscriptions. It is not supported for Fixed or Free subscriptions.
23+
{{< /note >}}
24+
25+
## Considerations
26+
27+
You can use Transit Gateway as an alternative to [VPC peering]({{<relref "/rc/security/vpc-peering">}}), or you can enable both for your subscription.
28+
29+
Compared to VPC peering, Transit Gateway:
30+
31+
- Supports complex network topologies, such as multiple VPCs or site-to-site VPNs.
32+
33+
- Uses security groups and network ACLs to control traffic between VPCs.
34+
35+
- Has a higher network latency and cost than VPC peering due to Transit Gateway infrastructure costs.
36+
37+
Consider using VPC peering and Transit Gateway in parallel for the following situations:
38+
39+
- When migrating from one connectivity solution to the other.
40+
41+
- If different applications need to connect to the same database but have different latency or security requirements.
42+
43+
## Prerequisites
44+
45+
Before you can set up Transit Gateway:
46+
47+
1. [Create a flexible subscription]({{< relref "/rc/subscriptions/create-flexible-subscription" >}}) from the Redis cloud [admin console](https://app.redislabs.com/#/).
48+
49+
1. [Create a transit gateway](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/tgw/tgw-transit-gateways.html#create-tgw) from the [AWS VPC console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/).
50+
51+
1. [Share the transit gateway](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/tgw/tgw-transit-gateways.html#tgw-sharing) from the [AWS resource access manager](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ram/).
52+
53+
## AWS Transit Gateway
54+
55+
To set up Transit Gateway:
56+
57+
1. [Associate your resource share with the Redis AWS account](#associate-resource-share).
58+
59+
1. [Accept the resource share and create an attachment](#accept-resource-share).
60+
61+
1. [Add consumer CIDRs](#add-consumer-cidrs) to the attachment.
62+
63+
1. [Update AWS route tables](#update-route-tables) with the Redis Cloud producer CIDRs.
64+
65+
### Associate resource share with Redis Cloud {#associate-resource-share}
66+
67+
In this step, you will associate your resource share with your subscription's AWS account. You can do this either in the [AWS console](#aws-console) or with the [AWS CLI](#aws-cli).
68+
69+
#### AWS Console
70+
71+
To use the AWS console to set up the resource share:
72+
73+
1. From the [Redis Cloud admin console](https://app.redislabs.com/), select the **Subscriptions** menu and then select your subscription from the list.
74+
75+
1. Select **Connectivity > Transit Gateway** to view the transit gateway settings.
76+
77+
1. In the **Share Transit Gateway** section, select **Copy** under **AWS console** to copy the Redis AWS Account number.
78+
79+
{{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-share-transit-gateway.png" width="80%" alt="The Share Transit Gateway section." >}}{{< /image >}}
80+
81+
1. Follow the guide to [Update a resource share](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ram/latest/userguide/working-with-sharing-update.html) in the [AWS resource access manager](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ram/).
82+
83+
During the **Grant access to principals** step, select **AWS Account** in the **Select principal type** field. Enter the copied AWS account number in the **Enter an AWS Account ID** field.
84+
85+
{{<image filename="images/rc/aws-tgw-add-principal.png" width="80%" alt="The AWS Add principal field." >}}{{< /image >}}
86+
87+
After the principal is added, it may take some time before it is associated. You can see the status of the principals under **Shared Principals** in the resource share page.
88+
89+
#### AWS CLI
90+
91+
To use the AWS CLI to set up the resource share:
92+
93+
1. From the [Redis Cloud admin console](https://app.redislabs.com/), select the **Subscriptions** menu and then select your subscription from the list.
94+
95+
1. Select **Connectivity > Transit Gateway** to view the transit gateway settings.
96+
97+
1. In the **Share Transit Gateway** section, select **Copy** under **AWS CLI Command** to copy the Redis AWS Account number.
98+
99+
{{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-share-transit-gateway.png" width="80%" alt="The Share Transit Gateway section." >}}{{< /image >}}
100+
101+
1. Enter the copied CLI command into a terminal shell. Replace `<TGW ARN>` with the Amazon resource name of your transit gateway.
102+
103+
### Accept resource share and create attachment {#accept-resource-share}
104+
105+
After you've associated the Redis AWS account with your resource share, you must accept the resource share in the admin console.
106+
107+
1. In your Redis Cloud subscription's Transit Gateway settings, you should now see that a **Resource Share** is available. Select **Resource Shares** to view the resource share you initiated.
108+
109+
{{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-resource-shares-button.png" width="250px" alt="The Share Transit Gateway section." >}}{{< /image >}}
110+
111+
1. Select **Accept** to associate the **Resource Share** with your admin console account.
112+
113+
{{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-accept-resource-shares.png" width="80%" alt="The Accept resource shares section." >}}{{< /image >}}
114+
115+
1. Select **Close** to close the **Accept resource shares** section.
116+
117+
1. You will now see your transit gateway in the **Transit Gateways** section. After the **TGW status** is **Available**, select **Create Attachment** under **Attachment status**.
118+
119+
{{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-create-attachment-button.png" width="250px" alt="The Create attachment button." >}}{{< /image >}}
120+
121+
This will request a peering attachment representing Redis's AWS account to the Transit Gateway.
122+
123+
1. If your transit gateway does not automatically accept peering attachment requests, the attachment will be in **Pending acceptance** status. Follow the guide to [Accept a peering attachment request](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/tgw/tgw-peering.html#tgw-peering-accept-reject) from the [AWS VPC console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/).
124+
125+
### Add consumer CIDRs
126+
127+
1. In your Redis Cloud subscription's Transit Gateway settings, in the **Transit Gateways** section, select **Add CIDRs** under **Consumer CIDRs**.
128+
129+
{{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-add-cidrs-button.png" width="150px" alt="The Add CIDRs button." >}}{{< /image >}}
130+
131+
1. Enter the IPv4 CIDR of the VPC you want to connect to that is also connected to your transit gateway. To find this, go to the [AWS VPC console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/) and select **Your VPCs**.
132+
133+
Select **Add** to add another CIDR if needed.
134+
135+
{{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-add-additional-cidrs-button.png" width="150px" alt="The Add button for adding additional CIDRs." >}}{{< /image >}}
136+
137+
Select **Save** to save your changes.
138+
139+
### Update AWS route tables {#update-route-tables}
140+
141+
To finish Transit gateway setup, [update your route tables for the peering connection](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/peering/vpc-peering-routing.html) with the following details:
142+
143+
1. In the **Destination** field, enter the producer deployment CIDRs.
144+
145+
You can find the producer deployment CIDRs on the Redis Cloud console in the Transit Gateway settings by selecting **More actions > View Attachment** in the **Transit Gateway** section.
146+
147+
{{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-attachment-more-actions-menu.png" width="300px" alt="The More actions menu." >}}{{< /image >}}
148+
149+
{{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-producer-cidr-copy.png" width="100%" alt="The Producer deployment CIDRs in the Attachment settings. " >}}{{< /image >}}
150+
151+
1. In the **Target** field, select **Transit Gateway** and select the relevant **Transit gateway ID**.
152+
153+
After Transit gateway is established, we recommend switching your application connection string to the private endpoint.
