Link Aggregation Group

A Link Aggregation Group (LAG) in AWS Direct Connect allows you to group multiple connections at a single AWS Direct Connect endpoint and treat them as a single managed connection to increase bandwidth and build redundancy. This feature supports rapid and flexible connectivity between your on-premises infrastructure and AWS Cloud resources. For more detailed information on LAGs, visit the AWS Direct Connect Documentation.

directconnect-hosted-connection​

A Direct Connect Hosted Connection can be part of a Link Aggregation Group, allowing hosted connections to be combined for collective management and enhanced network performance.

directconnect-location​

A Link Aggregation Group is associated with a Direct Connect Location, as it groups connections that terminate at a specific AWS Direct Connect endpoint location, determining where the LAG is physically realised.
