Next Steps

For high availability (HA) and redundancy, you can create and deploy HA Edge Spoke Gateway. See Deploy a HA Edge Spoke Gateway (Equinix).
For hybrid, multicloud, or LAN-side connectivity, you can attach the Edge gateway to multiple Aviatrix gateways . See Edge Gateway Attachments.
For remote site connectivity, you can connect the Edge gateway to remote devices. See Edge Gateway External Connection.
