Hi CheckMates

I have been working to create a lab creator for GWLBe for some trainings and would like to share it.

The idea behind the lab creator it to deploy a fast lab to show it or demo it to a customer or for training sessions, the idea for terraform is create and destroy.

The use cases for the lab is:

Security protection for Public VPC using edge association and GWLBe
Protection between two vpcs
Internet traffic inspection

For the security VPC, you have to run first the checkpoint official terraform template for TGW-GWLB

https://github.com/CheckPointSW/CloudGuardIaaS/tree/master/terraform/aws/tgw-gwlb-master

Fill the variables on the teraform.tfvars

This terraform template will create:

Two VPCs
Two Public subnets
Two private subnets
Two GWLBe for the edge association
Two Transit subnet for attachments
Route tables
EC2 for public and private services

For more detailed info regarding the lab

The terraform lab creator is not an official work or supported version, but it is a really god starting point to learn and deploy something fast

Thanks CheckMates
