What is this?

VPN connects on-prem or users to cloud networks over encrypted tunnels.

Why should you care?

CloudVerse hybrid banking links the private ledger VPC via site-to-site VPN (or ExpressRoute later).

See it live — copy this example

Use AWS/Azure/GCP free tier or local Docker/Kind. Sketches and YAML are meant to be typed and adapted.

# site-to-site sketch
# On-prem 10.10.0.0/16  ===IPsec===  CloudVerse VPC 10.0.0.0/16
# Need: customer gateway, VPN gateway, non-overlapping CIDRs, routes both sides

What happened?

  • Overlapping CIDRs break hybrid.
  • Prefer dedicated links for production critical traffic when justified.

Practice next

  1. Ensure non-overlap CIDRs.
  2. Create VPN gateway lab.
  3. Ping a private IP across.
  4. Add a second tunnel for HA.
  5. Document who owns on-prem routes.

Remember

Encrypted hybrid path. Non-overlap CIDRs. Routes both ways.

CloudVerse hybrid VPN

Ledger reachable from cloud apps.

Outcome: Hybrid path tested with ping/TCP.
