A Policy-Mode VPN Gateway with Its Own IKE and IPsec Policies Pinned to Strong Cryptography

An IBM Cloud VPC VPN gateway in policy mode with one connection to your on-premises gateway on IKEv2, with its own IKE and IPsec policies (AES-256, SHA-256, DH group 14) so IBM's auto-negotiation list never admits SHA-1 or a small group, the weak options refused by validation, IKEv1 by name, and dead peer detection that restarts the connection.

This is the operations reference: version drift, dependants and neighbours. For what the module provisions, its inputs and outputs, and how to buy it, see the catalogue entry.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

The same job on other clouds

Site-to-Site VPN on other providers. Useful when the cloud is still open, or when you are pricing a second one. How far a comparison like that can be trusted is covered in comparing clouds.
