About AWS Direct Connect

AWS Direct Connect is a cloud service that establishes a dedicated network connection between your on-premises infrastructure and AWS, bypassing the public internet to deliver consistent, low-latency performance. This direct link enhances application performance and can reduce networking costs through lower data transfer rates. With connection speeds ranging from 50 Mbps up to 400 Gbps, AWS Direct Connect offers flexibility to meet diverse bandwidth requirements. It supports multiple encryption options, including MACsec for point-to-point encryption on higher-speed connections and AWS Site-to-Site VPN for IPsec-based security, ensuring data protection during transit. The service also features AWS Direct Connect SiteLink, enabling private, end-to-end network connections between your global offices, data centers, and colocation facilities, facilitating efficient data transfer across your network. Deployment options include dedicated connections directly from AWS.

AWS Site-to-Site VPN
AWS Site-to-Site VPN
AWS Site-to-Site VPN is a fully managed service that establishes secure connections between your on-premises networks and AWS resources using IPsec tunnels. Each VPN connection includes two tunnels, each terminating in a different availability zone, to provide increased availability to your VPC. If there's a device failure within AWS, your VPN connection automatically fails over to the second tunnel so that your access isn't interrupted. For globally distributed applications, the accelerated Site-to-Site VPN option provides even greater performance by working with AWS Global Accelerator to intelligently route your traffic to the nearest AWS network endpoint with the best performance. AWS Site-to-Site VPN supports both static and dynamic routing options, including BGP peering, to give you flexibility in your routing configuration. It also supports NAT traversal, allowing you to use private IP addresses on private networks behind routers with a single public IP address.
