AWS Direct Connect provides low latency and high performance connectivity to the AWS cloud by allowing the provision of physical fiber from the customers location or data center into AWS Direct Connect points of presence. This session covers design considerations around AWS Direct Connect solutions. We will discuss how to design and configure physical and logical redundancy using both physically redundant fibers and logical VPN connectivity, and includes a live demo showing both the configuration and the failure of a doubly redundant connectivity solution. This session is for network engineers/architects, technical professionals, and infrastructure managers who have a working knowledge of Amazon VPC, Amazon EC2, general networking, and routing protocols.
