About Specialty Gateways

A Specialty Gateway is a type of Aviatrix gateway designed for specific use cases that fall outside the roles of standard Spoke or Transit Gateways. These include Public Subnet Filtering (PSF) Gateways, which provide ingress and egress security for AWS public subnets where instances have public IP addresses, as well as VPN Gateways and FQDN Gateways used for domain-based egress filtering—often in conjunction with Transit FireNet or Transit Egress workflows. Specialty Gateways are typically deployed when unique functionality or configuration is required to meet targeted network or security needs.
