Networkmanager Transit Gateway Connect Peer Association

A Network Manager Transit Gateway Connect Peer Association represents the connection between an AWS Transit Gateway Connect peer (a GRE tunnel endpoint created as part of a Transit Gateway Connect attachment) and a site that you have modelled inside AWS Network Manager.
The object records which Global Network the peer belongs to and, optionally, which on-premises device and physical/virtual link it should be mapped to. Maintaining this mapping allows Network Manager to draw accurate topology diagrams and to include the GRE tunnel in route analytics, performance monitoring, and policy assessments.

networkmanager-global-network​

Every Transit Gateway Connect Peer Association is scoped to a single Global Network. The GlobalNetworkId on the association points to the corresponding networkmanager-global-network item, indicating which overall corporate network the peer is part of.

networkmanager-device​

The association can specify a DeviceId to indicate the on-premises or edge device (for example, a customer router or firewall) that terminates the GRE tunnel. Linking to the networkmanager-device item shows where the peer logically lands in your topology.

If the Connect peer is tied to a particular circuit, VLAN, or VPN link at the site, the association includes a LinkId. This links the peer to a networkmanager-link item, allowing you to trace the physical or logical connectivity that underpins the GRE tunnel.
