Unpack the Aviatrix Distributed Cloud Firewall for AWS
summary
Aviatrix shows a cloud-native firewall that embeds policy into the transit fabric rather than bolting on a central appliance, claiming lower data-transfer cost and higher resiliency by pushing small T3 gateways (about 5 Gbps per gateway) instead of few large instances; features include SmartGroups (tag and identity-based policies across accounts), FireNet service insertion for Palo Alto/Checkpoint/Fortinet, and Threat IQ blocking using Proofpoint feeds; demo, TCO numbers, 30-day marketplace trial, Terraform export and customer panel (Choice Hotels, Republic Airways) validate operational and cost claims.
