What is AWS Direct Connect?

AWS Direct Connect connects your internal network to the AWS Direct Connect site using a standard optical Ethernet cable. One end of the cable connects to your router and the other end connects to your AWS Direct Connect router. With this connection, you can create virtual interfaces directly to public AWS services or Amazon VPCs, bypassing ISPs in your network path. For more information about AWS connect, you can visit this website – http://pentwaterconnect.com/.

AWS Direct Connect locations provide access to AWS in the region to which it is connected. You can use public Region or AWS GovCloud (US) connections to access public AWS services in all other public Regions.

The following diagram shows how AWS Direct Connect interacts with your network.
