 [AWS Client VPN](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpn/latest/clientvpn-admin/what-is.html) is an AWS managed high availability and scalability service enabling secure software remote access. It provides the option of creating a secure TLS connection between remote clients and your Amazon VPCs, to securely access AWS resources and on-premises over the internet, as shown in the following figure.
