Enable access from office laptop to RDS Server via Azure VNET

Surendra Koritala 20

We have a client who is working remotely from home. They want to access RDS Server hosted on AWS via Azure VNET. We build the following components for our client:
a. P2S connection between Client Laptop to Azure VNET b. S2S connection between Azure and AWS (through Cisco Peering device) Currently, we have to log in to Azure using VPNClient and open a Virtual machine on Azure, and access RDS Server. I want to know if it's possible to login into VPNClient and access RDS Server without additionally logging into Azure Virtual Machine. I want to avoid the additional step and see if it's possible to setup some routing between the client laptop and the RDS server through routing table configuration.

Hello,

First Ensure that the P2S VPN address pool in the Azure Virtual Network Gateway does not overlap with the IP address ranges of the Azure VNet, AWS VPC, or the client's local network.

Also make sure that Azure NSG and AWS Security Groups allows the traffic.

Configure the client's routing table to route traffic destined for the AWS VPC CIDR block through the VPN tunnel.
Update Azure route table: Create a custom route table in Azure that includes a route for the P2S VPN address pool, with the next hop set to the Azure VPN Gateway. Then, associate the custom route table with the subnet that contains the Azure VPN Gateway.

Update AWS route table: Create a custom route table in AWS that includes a route for the P2S VPN address pool, with the next hop set to the AWS VPN Gateway (or the Virtual Private Gateway). Then, associate the custom route table with the subnet that contains the RDS server.

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

Your requirement is documented below.

However, for this, BGP is mandatory.

From AWS side, make sure BGP is configured.
Refer : How to connect AWS and Azure using a BGP-enabled VPN gateway
