 ## New features
 
+### Transit Gateway 
+
+You can now connect your Flexible subscriptions hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to [AWS Transit Gateway](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/tgw/how-transit-gateways-work.html). See [Connect to Transit Gateway]({{<relref "/rc/security/aws-transit-gateway">}}) to learn how to connect your Flexible subscription to Transit Gateway.
+
 ### Billing Admin role
 
 You can now add a user with the Billing Admin role in the [Access Management]({{<relref "/rc/security/access-control/access-management">}}) screen. Billing Admins can view and edit settings related to billing and payments. They can add and remove payment methods and change the payment method for a subscription, but they cannot change any other subscription or database settings.

+
+[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:
+
+- One or more VPCs
+- One or more virtual private network (VPN) connections
+- One or more AWS Direct Connect gateways
+- One or more Transit Gateway Connect attachments
+- One or more transit gateway peering connections
+
+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.
+
+{{< note >}}
+Transit Gateway is available only with Flexible or Annual subscriptions.  It is not supported for Fixed or Free subscriptions.
+{{< /note >}}
+
+## Considerations
+
+You can use Transit Gateway as an alternative to [VPC peering]({{<relref "/rc/security/vpc-peering">}}), or you can enable both for your subscription.
+
+Compared to VPC peering, Transit Gateway:
+
+- Supports complex network topologies, such as multiple VPCs or site-to-site VPNs.
+
+- Uses security groups and network ACLs to control traffic between VPCs.
+
+- Has a higher network latency and cost than VPC peering due to Transit Gateway infrastructure costs.
+
+Consider using VPC peering and Transit Gateway in parallel for the following situations:
+
+- When migrating from one connectivity solution to the other.
+
+- If different applications need to connect to the same database but have different latency or security requirements.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before you can set up Transit Gateway:
+
+1. [Create a flexible subscription]({{< relref "/rc/subscriptions/create-flexible-subscription" >}}) from the Redis cloud [admin console](https://app.redislabs.com/#/).
+
+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/).
+
+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/).
+
+## AWS Transit Gateway
+
+To set up Transit Gateway:
+
+1. [Associate your resource share with the Redis AWS account](#associate-resource-share).
+
+1. [Accept the resource share and create an attachment](#accept-resource-share).
+
+1. [Add consumer CIDRs](#add-consumer-cidrs) to the attachment.
+
+1. [Update AWS route tables](#update-route-tables) with the Redis Cloud producer CIDRs.
+
+### Associate resource share with Redis Cloud {#associate-resource-share}
+
+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).
+
+#### AWS Console
+
+To use the AWS console to set up the resource share:
+
+1. From the [Redis Cloud admin console](https://app.redislabs.com/), select the **Subscriptions** menu and then select your subscription from the list.
+
+1. Select **Connectivity > Transit Gateway** to view the transit gateway settings.
+
+1. In the **Share Transit Gateway** section, select **Copy** under **AWS console** to copy the Redis AWS Account number.
+
+    {{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-share-transit-gateway.png" width="80%" alt="The Share Transit Gateway section." >}}{{< /image >}}
+
+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/). 
+
+    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. 
+
+    {{<image filename="images/rc/aws-tgw-add-principal.png" width="80%" alt="The AWS Add principal field." >}}{{< /image >}}
+
+    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.
+
+#### AWS CLI
+
+To use the AWS CLI to set up the resource share:
+
+1. From the [Redis Cloud admin console](https://app.redislabs.com/), select the **Subscriptions** menu and then select your subscription from the list.
+
+1. Select **Connectivity > Transit Gateway** to view the transit gateway settings.
+
+1. In the **Share Transit Gateway** section, select **Copy** under **AWS CLI Command** to copy the Redis AWS Account number.
+
+    {{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-share-transit-gateway.png" width="80%" alt="The Share Transit Gateway section." >}}{{< /image >}}
+
+1. Enter the copied CLI command into a terminal shell. Replace `<TGW ARN>` with the Amazon resource name of your transit gateway.
+
+### Accept resource share and create attachment {#accept-resource-share}
+
+After you've associated the Redis AWS account with your resource share, you must accept the resource share in the admin console.
+
+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.
+
+    {{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-resource-shares-button.png" width="250px" alt="The Share Transit Gateway section." >}}{{< /image >}}
+
+1. Select **Accept** to associate the **Resource Share** with your admin console account.
+
+    {{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-accept-resource-shares.png" width="80%" alt="The Accept resource shares section." >}}{{< /image >}}
+
+1. Select **Close** to close the **Accept resource shares** section.
+
+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**. 
+
+    {{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-create-attachment-button.png" width="250px" alt="The Create attachment button." >}}{{< /image >}}
+
+    This will request a peering attachment representing Redis's AWS account to the Transit Gateway. 
+
+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/). 
+
+### Add consumer CIDRs 
+
+1. In your Redis Cloud subscription's Transit Gateway settings, in the **Transit Gateways** section, select **Add CIDRs** under **Consumer CIDRs**.
+
+    {{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-add-cidrs-button.png" width="150px" alt="The Add CIDRs button." >}}{{< /image >}}
+
+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**.
+
+    Select **Add** to add another CIDR if needed.
+
+    {{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-add-additional-cidrs-button.png" width="150px" alt="The Add button for adding additional CIDRs." >}}{{< /image >}}
+
+    Select **Save** to save your changes.
+
+### Update AWS route tables {#update-route-tables}
+
+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:
+
+1. In the **Destination** field, enter the producer deployment CIDRs. 
+
+    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.
+
+    {{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-attachment-more-actions-menu.png" width="300px" alt="The More actions menu." >}}{{< /image >}}
+
+    {{<image filename="images/rc/tgw-producer-cidr-copy.png" width="100%" alt="The Producer deployment CIDRs in the Attachment settings. " >}}{{< /image >}}
+
+1. In the **Target** field, select **Transit Gateway** and select the relevant **Transit gateway ID**.
+
+After Transit gateway is established, we recommend switching your application connection string to the private endpoint.
