AWS Cloud WAN maps most closely to Azure Virtual WAN, with Virtual Network Manager for policy-based grouping and security rules.
- Policy model. Cloud WAN is driven by a single JSON core network policy that defines Regions, segments, and attachment rules. Virtual WAN uses hubs, route tables, and routing intent; Virtual Network Manager adds network groups and admin rules.
- Segmentation. Cloud WAN segments are global routing domains. Virtual WAN segments with custom route tables and labels in each hub.
