Our use case for Cisco Cloud Services Router is that we have our workload in AWS, and we have different locations, offices, and plants for which we maintain the connection from these branch offices through our cloud environment using Cisco's services. Right now, we do not have any solution from AWS. The transit gateway has challenges or issues, so we had to put our Cisco Cloud Services Router in front of the transit gateway to have that route table and other metrics under our control, so that is how the product is deployed currently.
My team is in charge of auditing the security infrastructure of these routers. I perform penetration testing and blue teaming in pursuit of this effort. Our customers for this product are typically government departments. In the current project, we are designing smart cities, in which these routers are part of the infrastructure.

We have a public and a private network, and we use the Cisco CSR to route traffic between them. In our private network, we have a Cisco Nexus 1000V virtualization switch that works with VMware. Our goal was to have our two LANs work together as a layer two network, and this solution forms the gateway between them. Our CSR is set up such that one end is connected to the internet, whereas the other end connects to our public network. We have a route between the CSR and our Nexus 1000V, which is directly connected to the other switch that is included with VMware.

It's in our transit VPC and transit router. We use it as a way to connect multiple environments together and also our third-party vendors together. So, it is a VPN.

We have migrate our customers to the cloud along with their on-premise router. Therefore, when migrate their infrastructure to the cloud, we migrate Cisco too. This is our first use case with Cisco migrating a high availability infrastructure.
The Cisco Cloud Services Router is a reliable and scalable solution for extending network layers from the head office to the cloud, maintaining connections from branch offices through the cloud environment. Its most valuable features are its integration with Amazon and Oracle Cloud, its ability to smooth migrations without changing IP, and excellent technical support.
The product is stable, easy to integrate with other products, and offers a fantastic routing service for NPLS called...

Gateway communication for IoT activities is our primary use case. We were looking for a stable mobility solution.
We have been trying to establish VPN connections between retail locations on our AWS VPC. This has not been very reliable from our experience.
The primary use case is routing ingress traffic to various VPCs.
We use it to create a transit VPC within multiple AWS accounts.
We use it to connect different accounts with different weaknesses and also with the on-premise data center.
