New – Site-to-Site Connectivity with AWS Direct Connect SiteLink

https://aws.amazon.com/polly/ We are launching https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect, a new capability of https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/ that lets you create connections between your on-premises networks through the AWS global network backbone. In turn, you’re required to create custom workarounds to interconnect networks from different providers, which increases your operating costs.

SiteLink also integrates with other AWS services, letting you reach your VPCs, other AWS services, and your on-premises networks from your Direct Connect connections.

Once you connect your locations (NY1, AM3, Paris, and TY2 in the diagram) to a Direct Connect gateway, those connections can reach any AWS Region (except the two AWS China Regions).

The data flows between Direct Connect locations without going through an AWS Region.
