Interconnect

The Interconnect is a cloud resource in AWS Direct Connect that allows users to establish a dedicated network connection between their on-premises networks and AWS. This provides better throughput, lower latency, and more consistent network performance than Internet-based connections. For more details, refer to the official AWS Direct Connect documentation.

Supported Methods​

  • GET: Get a Interconnect by InterconnectId
  • LIST: List all Interconnects
  • SEARCH: Search Interconnects by ARN

directconnect-hosted-connection​

An Interconnect provides a single physical connection that can be partitioned into multiple virtual interfaces or hosted connections. The directconnect-hosted-connection is a type of virtual interface that is provisioned over an Interconnect, allowing multiple customers to use the bandwidth of the same physical connection.

directconnect-lag​

Interconnects can be bundled together into a Link Aggregation Group (LAG), which is described by the directconnect-lag resource. This enables higher bandwidth by combining multiple interconnects into a single managed entity, providing load balancing and redundancy.

directconnect-location​

The directconnect-location represents the physical facility where the Interconnect is hosted. It defines the geographical location, which impacts latency and transfer speeds, and plays a critical role in planning the network architecture when setting up an Interconnect.
