Direct Connect Location

An AWS Direct Connect Location represents one of the globally distributed, carrier-neutral data-centre facilities where you can order and terminate an AWS Direct Connect dedicated circuit. Each location has a unique location code that you reference when requesting a connection, viewing available port speeds, generating LOAs, or validating the physical site of an existing circuit. Understanding which locations are available – and the risks or constraints linked to each – helps you design resilient, low-latency connectivity between your on-premises network and AWS.
