What is AWS Direct Connect?
AWS Direct Connect is a dedicated line connection service provided by AWS that does not use the internet. It connects the AWS cloud environment to the end of a dedicated line or private network provided by a line carrier (NTT, KDDI, Softbank, etc.) at an AWS Direct Connect location
AWS Direct Connect can be used between AWS cloud environments (EC2, VPC, S3, etc.) and your company's internal system facilities via a private network connection
AWS Direct Connect Features
● Private Connection
: AWS Direct Connect connects your AWS cloud environment to your on-premises environment via a private network that bypasses the internet. This provides a stable network connection and enables high-speed transfer of large amounts of data. Furthermore, you can select network bandwidth to match your business needs, allowing for highly flexible bandwidth scaling.
● Secure Connection:
We provide secure connections using encrypted networks when connecting from data centers or offices to AWS. The network is protected by AES-256 encryption and BGP authentication, making security control easier.
● Global Connectivity:
The AWS Direct Connect network is deployed globally, providing connectivity to AWS Regions in numerous locations. This allows users to connect to AWS from on-premises environments or third-party data centers.
● Diverse connectivity options
We offer both physical connectivity options and virtual interface options. With physical connectivity, you connect to the AWS cloud using a dedicated physical line. With virtual interface options, you can create virtual connections and connect multiple VPCs.
