The tcp connections are probably not an issue, working in cloud it's never something I've seen worried about, so maybe the architecture doesn't have that limitation?

Any time you traverse a firewall or a NAT you’ll run into issues if you have a massive amount of open sessions and you are dealing with a stateful FW.

Just because you haven’t encountered it doesn’t mean it’s not there, it’s probably just properly tuned and balanced for the load.

Yeah, I believe that. I'm not sure this applies to something like AWS though, where firewall like capability is provided via a layer spread over thousands or greater of instances.

The virtual firewalls running on the virtual networks in AWS for their customers are not the same as the layer 2 firewalls that exist in their data centers internally.
