Feed: Recent Announcements. You can now add four additional metadata fields in your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) flow logs, namely flow-direction, traffic-path, pkt-src-aws-service and pkt-dst-aws-service. With these enriched fields you can derive insights into the AWS services that your workloads are communicating with, differentiate between ingress and egress traffic flows and identify the next hop of your egress traffic, such as an internet gateway, a VPC peering connection or a virtual private gateway. Enriched metadata fields in VPC flow logs can reduce the cost and operational overhead associated with the additional computations or lookups required to extract meaningful ... Read More
