Requesting cross connects at Amazon Direct Connect locations
After you have downloaded your Letter of Authorization and Connecting Facility Assignment
(LOA-CFA), you must complete your cross-network connection, also known as a cross
connect. If you already have equipment located in an Amazon Direct Connect location,
contact the appropriate provider to complete the cross connect. For specific instructions
for each provider, see the tables below. Partners and contact information are organized by
Region. For specific cross connect pricing you'll need to directly to the Direct Connect Partner.
After the cross connect is established, you can create the virtual interfaces using the
Amazon Direct Connect console.
Some locations are set up as a campus. For more information, including available speeds
available at each location, see Amazon Direct Connect
Locations.
If you do not already have equipment located in an Amazon Direct Connect location, you can work with one
of the partners in the Amazon Partner Network (APN). They help you to connect to an Amazon Direct Connect
location. For more information, see APN Partners supporting Amazon Direct Connect. You must share the LOA-CFA with your selected
provider to facilitate your cross connect request.
An Amazon Direct Connect connection can provide access to resources in other Regions. For more
information, see Access to remote Amazon Direct Connect Regions.
Connectivity options
The options available to connect to a Direct Connect location might vary by Partner and Amazon
Region. You can work with one of the partners in the Amazon Partner Network (APN) who can
provide one or more of the following connectivity options:
-
If you have resources deployed in the same data center/colocation facility as the
Direct Connect location, the facility can provide a cross-connect between the
Amazon Direct Connect equipment and your resources. You must first provide LOA-CFA to the
facility for this. See Letter of Authorization and Connecting Facility
Assignment (LOA-CFA) for more information. The
following shows an example of this Direct Connect connectivity option:
-
Extend the Direct Connect connection at Layer 2 (data link layer) via a "circuit" from the
Direct Connect location to the customer location by working with Direct Connect Partners.
The router installed at the customer location will directly form a BGP session
with the Amazon equipment. For example, technologies that can be used are Metro
Ethernet, Dark Fibre, or Wavelength. The following shows an example of this
Direct Connect connectivity option.
-
Extend the Direct Connect connection at Layer 3 (Network layer) from the Direct Connect location to
your location by working with Direct Connect Partners. For this connectivity option,
the Direct Connect Partner provides a router within the Direct Connect location that forms
a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) session with the Amazon equipment. The Direct Connect
partner then established another BGP with you; for example, this might be over
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MLPS). The following shows an example of this
Direct Connect connectivity option.
