Interconnect

AWS Interconnect – last mile

A managed connectivity capability enabling customers to easily connect their remote locations to AWS in just a few clicks

What is Interconnect – last mile?

AWS Interconnect - last mile simplifies on-premises last mile connectivity to AWS. Customers can use their current network provider to create high-speed private connections to the AWS network. It makes it easier for customers to onboard to AWS from their on-premises locations and removes the operational burden by automating network configuration.

Benefits

    With Interconnect – last mile, customers can now set up a private, reliable connection in minutes using their current last-mile network provider. This saves customers weeks of back-and-forth for partner identification and network setup.

    Interconnect - last mile abstracts away the complexity of network plumbing such as ordering cross-connects, configuring VLANs, ASNs, and BGP peering by automating these steps and enforcing AWS best practices. This lowers the risk of misconfiguration errors.

    Interconnect – last mile enables the ability to adjust bandwidth speeds as workloads fluctuate, supporting scaling natively, from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps with increments at 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 Gbps. Scale up or down through the AWS Console, without needing to reprovision connections or open a support case.

How it works

AWS Interconnect – last mile automates the end-to-end process of establishing private, resilient connectivity between customer on-premises locations and AWS. In the AWS Console, customers only have to select their location, preferred AWS Region, and bandwidth speed. Everything else is taken care of behind the scenes.

Features

    Every last mile connection is provisioned with four redundant connections across two physically distinct Direct Connect locations by default. Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing load-balances traffic across all four connections, ensuring business continuity during device failures.

    Last mile Interconnects are covered with a 99.99% availability SLA up to the port.

    AWS Interconnect – last mile initially launched with Lumen in US East (N. Virginia). Customers can create a last mile connection from the NJ sites in US East to any AWS region globally, and connect from anywhere in the continental United States via the Lumen connectivity fabric. Additional partners and regions will be added over time.
