Jumpbox Multi-VPC RDP/SSH Access Architecture — AWS architecture diagram

About This Architecture

Multi-VPC jumpbox architecture using AWS Transit Gateway, Network Firewall, and Client VPN to provide secure RDP/SSH access across production, test, and lab environments. Remote users authenticate via Route 53 DNS and Client VPN, traverse Network Firewall inspection, then route through a central t3.micro jumpbox in the Hub VPC before reaching isolated EC2 instances in three separate VPCs. IAM access control, Secrets Manager credential storage, and CloudWatch monitoring enforce least-privilege access and audit trails across all three environments. Fork this diagram on Diagrams.so to customize CIDR ranges, add additional VPCs, or integrate with your existing security group policies. This pattern demonstrates hub-and-spoke topology best practices for regulated workloads requiring centralized egress inspection and bastion-mediated access.

People also ask

How do I securely provide RDP and SSH access to EC2 instances across multiple isolated AWS VPCs using a bastion host?

This diagram shows a hub-and-spoke architecture where remote users connect via Client VPN to a central Hub VPC, pass through AWS Network Firewall inspection, route through Transit Gateway, and access a t3.micro jumpbox that mediates all connections to EC2 instances in production, test, and lab VPCs. IAM policies and Secrets Manager enforce least-privilege access while CloudWatch logs all sessions
