![ws-arch](https://chkp-gwlb-ws01.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/CHKP-CGNS-GWLB-WorkshopArchitecture-Workshop+Final.drawio.png)

### Notes: 
- There are several different ways to organize your AWS architecture to take advantage of CloudGuard Network Security(CGNS) traffic inspection with AWS GWLB.  It is important to remember that as long as the traffic has a symmetrical routing path for forward and reverse flow, the architecture will work.
- This diagram may look complicated at first glance because it covers **ALL Traffic Flow Options**.  For each scenario, we will highlight the components involved in that flow.  Depending on your requirements you may only require a subset of the flows and accordingly a subset of this Reference Architecture 
### Learning Objectives
- Learn the difference between Centralized and Decentralized GWLB & GWLBe Architectures
- Understand how each flow works
- Understand the differences and advantages/disadvantages of centralized ingress architecture options
