CloudConnexa & AWS Network Monitor

Automated network health monitoring and response

BashAWSCloudFormationOpenVPN

Problem

Intermittent network issues on VPN paths are hard to catch before users notice.

Solution

Threshold-based monitoring with automated remediation, deployed entirely through infrastructure as code.

Outcome

Faster detection of connectivity issues and reduced manual intervention during incidents.

The Challenge

VPN and external connectivity problems are often transient. By the time someone investigates, the issue has resolved, leaving little evidence.

My Approach

Lightweight scripts run continuous checks and push metrics. When thresholds are breached, AWS-native automation handles the response without waiting for human intervention.

Implementation

Bash handles the probing logic, CloudFormation deploys the stack, and AWS services coordinate alerting and automated actions.

Results & Learnings

Simple tooling, when wired together correctly, often outperforms complex monitoring platforms for targeted use cases.
