Project Description

In another project based on a real world scenario, I acted as a Cloud Specialist in a company that used Google Cloud and AWS services in separate architectures.

The company decided to interconnect the two architectures, in a completely private way, using the Virtual Private Gateway, Customer Gateway, Cloud Routers, Cloud VPN, among other services.

However, they needed it in production in a week. So, once GCP and AWS accounts were created, to save time, I decided to deploy it in a 100% automated way using Terraform.
