cit:subnet-type	public/private/utility	Is this a private or public subnet? Public subnets are those with a route to an Internet Gateway.

‡ Only the NACL created for use by utility subnets will be tagged.

Direct Connect Gateways are also involved in the migration but cannot be tagged.

...

The AWS Transit Gateways used in the v2 architecture require different routing rules than the Virtual Private Gateways (VGW) used in the v1 architecture. Each VPC Route Table that references a Virtual Private Gateway will be duplicated and, in the new Route Table, rules referencing a VGW will be replaced  with rules referencing a TGW Attachment. The new Route Tables will not include "blackhole" routes (i.e. routes to resources, like old peering connections, that no longer exist) from the original Route Tables.

These new Route Tables will be created prior to the migration, but will not actually be utilized until the migration is executed. When migration is executed, subnets associated with the v1 Route Tables will be re-associated to the corresponding v2 Route Tables. Similarly, if the "main" Route Table for the VPC references a VGW, the corresponding v2 Route Table will be set as the "main" Route Table for the VPC.

	v2 BGP Updated	17 Jan 2023 7am		v2 Direct Connect infrastructure will have BGP configuration changed to begin advertising new routes via I2CC	Azure-to-AWS-VPC traffic may begin to use the v2 architecture (in just the one direction). This is limited only to Azure-to-AWS-VPC traffic due to Cornell's network architecture.
	VPC Routing Updated	17 Jan 2023 9am		VPC Routing Updated		v2 Route Tables activated v1 Route Tables deactivated	VPC-to-campus traffic will be routed through the v2 architecture Azure-to-AWS-VPC traffic may use the v2 architecture.
	Campus Direct Connect Routes Updated	18 Jan 2023 Jan 2023 9am		Direct Connect Virtual Interfaces in customer accounts will be disabled. This causes  DC traffic Campus-side routing updated to begin using the v2 architecture for campus-to-AWS traffic	campus-to-VPC traffic will be routed through the V2 architecture all Azure-to-AWS-VPC traffic will be routed through the v2 architecture
