Hosted Connection

The Hosted Connection in AWS Direct Connect allows you to establish a dedicated network connection between your on-premises environment and AWS services. This facilitates a more consistent network performance compared to internet-based connections. Users can benefit from reducing their bandwidth costs and increasing their network reliability. For more detailed information, you can refer to the official AWS Direct Connect documentation.

directconnect-lag​

A Hosted Connection can be linked to a Link Aggregation Group (LAG), allowing you to combine multiple connections to create a higher throughput link or to provide redundancy.

directconnect-location​

A Hosted Connection is associated with a specific Direct Connect location, which is the physical location where you access AWS Direct Connect. Each location provides access to one or more AWS Regions.

directconnect-virtual-interface​

A Hosted Connection interfaces with one or more Virtual Interfaces (VIFs), allowing you to extend your data centre, office, or colocation environment into the AWS Cloud. VIFs can be either public or private, and they define the routing path your data takes.
