Benefits
Many organizations require multi-factor authentication (MFA) and federated authentication from their VPN solution. AWS Client VPN supports these and other authentication methods.
AWS Client VPN use cases
Unexpected events can require many of your employees to work remotely. This creates a spike in VPN connections and traffic that can reduce performance or availability for your users. AWS Client VPN is elastic, and automatically scales up to handle peak demand. When the spike has passed, it scales down so you are not paying for unused capacity.
Customer stories
"Columbia University Medical Center is a clinical, research, and educational enterprise located on a campus in northern Manhattan. We have an emergency situation where due to the COVID 19 our hospital is limiting access to the campus.
Overview
The following diagram, shows the high-level architecture of an example scenario of using AWS Client VPN and connecting to an RDS instance.
Generating a certificate
For instructions on creating a server certificate using OpenVPN easy-rsa tool, see Mutual authentication.
Creating a VPC and subnets
Create a VPC to host the subnets and the subnet group for the RDS instance with the following code:
Creating a security group
Create a security group to be used by the AWS Client VPN endpoint and the RDS instance with the following code:
Creating an AWS Client VPN endpoint
Create an AWS Client VPN endpoint and attach it to the VPC with the following code. You use the client IP4 CIDR to assign IP addresses to the client connections. Use your own server certificate arn generated in the previous step.
Creating an Active directory
Because the SQL Server RDS instance also uses Windows authentication, create an Active Directory to be associated to the RDS instance:
Creating the SQL Server RDS instance
To create an RDS instance, you need to create a subnet group and a directory service AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role. This IAM role uses the managed IAM policy AmazonRDSDirectoryServiceAccess and allows Amazon RDS to make calls to the active directory.
How it works
AWS Site-to-Site VPN creates encrypted connections between your locations (such as data centers and remote offices) and your AWS cloud resources.

Short description
Typically you connect to your WorkSpace using the Amazon WorkSpaces client. However, you might need to connect to a WorkSpace using an RDP client for troubleshooting. To do so, you must update the Amazon WorkSpaces security group settings to allow connections from the IP address of your RDP client machine.
Resolution
To RDP outside of the network, you must provide internet access from your WorkSpace by assigning an Elastic IP address to each WorkSpace. If you use a network address translation (NAT) gateway, then you can RDP from within the network. For more information, see NAT gateways.
Providing a Security Group that Allows RDP Access
Before you can use RDP to log into a Windows instance, the instance's security group inbound rules must allow RDP connections. When you create the first stack in a region, AWS OpsWorks Stacks creates a set of security groups.
Logging in As an Ordinary User
An authorized user can log in to instances using a temporary password, provided by AWS OpsWorks Stacks.
Logging in As Administrator
You can log in to an instance as Administrator by using the appropriate password. If you have assigned an EC2 key pair to an instance, Amazon EC2 uses it to automatically create and encrypt an Administrator password when the instance starts.
Connect to your Windows instance using RDP
To connect to a Windows instance, you must retrieve the initial administrator password and then enter this password when you connect to your instance using Remote Desktop. It takes a few minutes after instance launch before this password is available.
Connect to your Windows instance using RDP with Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Fleet Manager
You can use Amazon EC2 Systems Manager Fleet Manager, a capability of AWS Systems Manager, to connect to your Windows instances using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). These Remote Desktop sessions powered by NICE DCV provide secure connections to your instances directly from your browser.
Connect to a Windows instance using its IPv6 address
If you've enabled your VPC for IPv6 and assigned an IPv6 address to your Windows instance, you can use an RDP client to connect to your instance using its IPv6 address (for example, 2001:db8:1234:1a00:9691:9503:25ad:1761) instead of using its public IPv4 address or public DNS hostname.
Connect to a Windows instance using Session Manager
Session Manager is a fully-managed AWS Systems Manager capability for managing your Amazon EC2 instances through an interactive, one-click, browser-based shell, or through the AWS CLI. You can use Session Manager to start a session with an instance in your account.
Configure your accounts
Change the administrator password from the default value. You can change the password while you are logged on to the instance itself, just as you would on any computer running Windows Server.
Transfer files to Windows instances
You can work with your Windows instance in the same way that you would work with any Windows server. For example, you can transfer files between a Windows instance and your local computer using the local file sharing feature of the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection software.
