What is Amazon Direct Connect?
AWS Direct Connect is a network service that provides an alternative to using the Internet to utilize AWS cloud services. AWS Direct Connect enables customers to have low latency, secure and private connections to AWS for workloads which require higher speed or lower latency than the internet. Q.
How many Direct Connect locations?
100 locations
AWS Direct Connect is available at over 100 locations worldwide to ensure you can make connections close to where you need them.
Is AWS Direct Connect Regional?
An AWS Direct Connect gateway is a globally available resource. You can create the AWS Direct Connect gateway in any Region and access it from all other Regions. Q: What is a virtual interface (VIF)? A virtual interface (VIF) is necessary to access AWS services, and is either public or private.
Is AWS Direct Connect a physical cable?
Yes, although the “network cable” would likely take the form of a private leased circuit you would purchase from a telecommunications provider. Direct Connect is a service that allows you to establish connections between your network and the AWS network at selected physical locations.
Is AWS Direct Connect MPLS?
Although AWS does not natively integrate with MPLS as a protocol, we provide mechanisms and best practices to connect to your currently deployed MPLS/WAN via AWS Direct Connect and VPN.
Is AWS Direct Connect redundant?
The AWS global infrastructure is built around AWS Regions and Availability Zones. AWS Regions provide multiple physically separated and isolated Availability Zones, which are connected with low-latency, high-throughput, and highly redundant networking.
Is AWS Direct Connect encrypted?
AWS Direct Connect does not encrypt your traffic that is in transit by default. To encrypt the data in transit that traverses AWS Direct Connect, you must use the transit encryption options for that service.
Is VPC encrypted?
All traffic within a VPC and between peered VPCs across regions is transparently encrypted at the network layer when using supported Amazon EC2 instance types.
What is IPsec and MACsec?
IPsec works on IP packets, at layer 3, while MACsec operates at layer 2, on ethernet frames. Thus, MACsec can protect all DHCP and ARP traffic, which IPsec cannot secure. On the other hand, IPsec can work across routers, while MACsec is limited to a LAN.
Is all AWS traffic encrypted?
All network traffic between AWS data centers is transparently encrypted at the physical layer. All traffic within a VPC and between peered VPCs across regions is transparently encrypted at the network layer when using supported Amazon EC2 instance types.
Is MACsec better than IPsec?
How secure is AWS Direct Connect?

Is AWS Direct Connect encrypted by default?
Does AWS transit gateway support direct connect?
You can now use Direct Connect gateway as an attachment with your Transit Gateways. AWS Direct Connect gateway allows you to access any AWS Region (except China) using your AWS Direct Connect connections. You can associate up to three Transit Gateways from any AWS Region with each Direct Connect gateway.
AWS Direct Connect is available at locations around the world. In some campus settings, AWS Direct Connect is accessible using standard cross-connects from other data centers operated by the same provider on the same campus.
Can secondary data centers be connected to alternate direct connect locations?
Depending on the Direct Connect HA requirements, secondary data centers can be connected to alternate direct connect locations. In this case, the second Direct Connect is connected to us-east-2. Note that this secondary connection can be optional (gray section) in case AWS connections are primarily required from the primary data center only.
How do I order a dedicated connection from AWS?
