About IBM Secure Gateway Service
The Secure Gateway Service provides a quick, easy, and secure solution to connect anything to anything. The solution provides a persistent connection between on-premises or third-party cloud environments and the IBM Cloud®. Quickly set up gateways to connect your environments, manage the mapping between your local and remote destinations, and monitor all of your traffic. Monitor all your gateways from the Secure Gateway Service dashboard or monitor individual gateways from the Secure Gateway Service client. Simple access management controls are available from the Secure Gateway Service client to allow or deny access on a per resource basis to prevent any unauthorized access. This list will automatically synchronize to any client connected to the same gateway. With Professional and Enterprise plans, you can connect multiple instances of the Secure Gateway Service client to your gateway to automatically use built-in connection load balancing and connection fail-over.

AWS Transit Gateway
AWS Transit Gateway is a fully managed service that connects Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and on-premises networks through a central hub, simplifying network architecture and eliminating complex peering relationships. Acting as a scalable cloud router, it allows each new connection to be made only once. Transit Gateway supports dynamic and static layer 3 routing between VPCs and VPNs, with routes determining the next hop based on the destination IP address. It enables VPN connections between the Transit Gateway and on-premises gateways, supporting Equal Cost Multipath (ECMP) routing to increase bandwidth by load-balancing traffic over multiple paths. AWS Transit Gateway Connect facilitates native integration of Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) appliances into AWS using standard protocols like GRE and BGP, enhancing bandwidth and supporting dynamic routing.

Amazon API Gateway
Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. APIs act as the "front door" for applications to access data, business logic, or functionality from your backend services. Using API Gateway, you can create RESTful APIs and WebSocket APIs that enable real-time two-way communication applications. API Gateway supports containerized and serverless workloads, as well as web applications. API Gateway handles all the tasks involved in accepting and processing up to hundreds of thousands of concurrent API calls, including traffic management, CORS support, authorization and access control, throttling, monitoring, and API version management. API Gateway has no minimum fees or startup costs. You pay for the API calls you receive and the amount of data transferred out and, with the API Gateway tiered pricing model, you can reduce your cost as your API usage scales.
