By default, instances that you launch into an Amazon VPC cannot communicate with your own (remote) network. You can enable access to your remote network from your VPC by creating an AWS Site-to-Site VPN (Site-to-Site VPN) connection and configuring routing to pass traffic through the connection.

Use OpsRamp AWS Public Cloud Integration to discover and collect metrics against AWS VPN.
