AWS Site-to-Site VPN now supports modifying tunnel bandwidth on existing VPN connections

AWS Site-to-Site VPN Bandwidth Modification

AWS Site-to-Site VPN now allows modifying tunnel bandwidth between standard (up to 1.25 Gbps) and large (up to 5 Gbps) on existing connections, simplifying updates to your VPN connections’ bandwidth.

Previously, changing tunnel bandwidth required deleting and recreating the connection, which generated new tunnel IP addresses and meant updating your on-premises VPN device configuration and firewall rules. With this launch, tunnels are upgraded while preserving your IP addresses, CIDR blocks, pre-shared keys, and all configuration settings, eliminating the need to make any changes to your on-premises device.
