AWS GTM for on-premise network

This is a high level question to understand if I would be possible to migrate my on-prem GTM devices into AWS. I have deployed LTM and APM out there with much success, but not clear on if moving GTM out there would be possible.

 

My main concern is if I would be able to still perform the Link monitoring with appliances built in the cloud. I do not have a Direct Connect set up, so would need some kind of VPN to reach my internal network. Could I not set up the Link monitoring to monitor the outside interface of my DC's?

 

I also have iQuery configured to some internal (non-AWS) LTM devices. I dont see any reason why I cannot just re-establish this over the internet.

 

I would like to avoid configuring a VPN if possible.

    Depending on what you are trying to achieve, you can actually utilize Route53 for regional failover instead of deploying a GTM. You can utilize the health-check within Route53 in order to monitor your DC resource via internet instead of vpn. I think the values for failure/success threshold would have to be fine-tuned to suit your requirements.
