VPC traffic mirroring is a feature/mechanism that allows to capture and inspect network traffic in the VPC.

The feature can be used to route traffic to the security applications for multiple purposes. **We can capture traffic:

  • from sources eni
  • and send it to target network eni or and ELB.

Source and target can be in the same VPC or in the different VPC (by using VPC Peering feature).

Use cases:

  • Content inspectation
  • Security
  • Troubleshooting
