Definition

AWS networking hub that connects multiple networks together through a central point. Like a major highway interchange where all roads meet - instead of building direct connections between every city, you build one central hub.

Real-World Example

A large company uses Transit Gateway to connect 50 different VPCs across multiple regions, simplifying their network architecture from hundreds of connections to just 50.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

AWS Transit Gateway serves as a central hub for connecting VPCs, similar to Azure Virtual WAN, GCP's Cloud Interconnect, and OCI's Dynamic Routing Gateway, which provide similar functionalities in their respective cloud environments.
