ssh’ing through bastions was such a pain! We used the JMX GUI to review some AMP details from time to time, and port forwarding through the bastions was frowned upon, but our workflow was broken, what were we to do?

IIRC, early on on that project the gateways would get overwhelmed at the volume of traffic they were handling between various VPCs and had to be rolled back several times early on.

Of all the transitions I dealt with at Amazon, snowfort may have been my least favorite (though the ACL/role migration was pretty frustrating as well).
