EVPN/MPLS Bridging Forwarding Model
Most networking engineers immediately think about VXLAN and data center switches when they hear about EVPN. While that’s the most hyped use case, EVPN standardization started in 2012 as a layer-2 VPN solution on top of MPLS transport trying to merge the best of VPLS and MPLS/VPN worlds.
If you want to understand how any technology works, and what its quirks are, you have to know how it was designed to be used. In this blog post we’ll start that journey exploring the basics of EVPN used in a simple MLPS network with three PE-routers:

Automate Calico Cloud and EKS cluster integration using AWS Control Tower
Productive, scalable, and cost-effective, cloud infrastructure empowers innovation and faster deliverables. It’s a no-brainer why organizations are migrating to the cloud and containerizing their applications. As businesses scale their cloud infrastructure, they cannot be bottlenecked by security concerns. One way to release these bottlenecks and free up resources is by using automation.
What if you could automate the deployment and integration of your container security services with your cluster’s environment?
In a joint blog post with AWS Marketplace, AWS Sr. Cloud Application Architect, Deepak Sihag, joins Tigera’s Technical Marketing Engineer, Joseph Yostos, to walk you through the process of activating, deploying, and configuring Calico Cloud in your AWS Control Tower environment. And of course, how to automate the process of connecting Calico Cloud to your EKS cluster.
Blog highlights
Aside from showing you how you can fully leverage the preconfigured resources of AWS Control Tower, the solution walkthrough also highlights:
- Event-driven automation to connect an EKS cluster with Calico Cloud
- AWS CloudFormation deployment
- Detailed runthrough of prerequisite configurations
- Step-by-step guide on how to automate Calico Cloud and EKS cluster integration using AWS Control Tower
- How to clean up your account to avoid incurring costs
