Connect to RISE through nearest Amazon Direct Connect POP (including Amazon Local Zone)

Amazon Direct Connect point-of-presence (POP) is a physical cross-connect that allows users to establish a network connection from their premises to an Amazon Region or Amazon Local Zone. You can use the nearest Direct Connect POP (for example in Amazon Local Zone) to benefit from lower setup and running cost, with the same or lower network latency to your RISE with SAP VPC that runs on parent Amazon Region. For more information, see Amazon Direct Connect Traffic Flow with Amazon Local Zone.

Here is an example scenario - You are based in Philippines, and you would like to deploy RISE with SAP in Amazon Singapore Region. You can use Direct Connect POP in Manila to setup Direct Connect from your on-premise data centre or offices. This strategy provides a lower network latency compared to a connecting directly to the Amazon Region in Singapore.

The following are some considerations when using Amazon Direct Connect POP:

  • Use separate VPCs for Region (RISE with SAP VPC) and Local Zones based non-SAP workloads

  • Use Direct Connect Gateway in Amazon Direct Connect POP and Private VIF connectivity

  • Use Direct Connect Gateway in Amazon Direct Connect POP and Transit VIF connectivity for Region VPCs (RISE with SAP VPC).This is done because Direct Connect Gateway does not exists in Amazon Direct Connect POP, and Amazon Transit Gateway exists only in Amazon Regions.

If resilience is critical, setup a secondary Direct Connect to the Amazon Region running RISE with SAP VPC or use Amazon Site-to-Site VPN to the Amazon Region connectivity option. These services operate within the parent Amazon Region, serving as a failover connectivity option ensuring uninterrupted connectivity in the event of disruptions or failures.

Example connections across Regions

Cost of data transferred between a Local Zone and an Availability Zone within the same Amazon Region, "in" to and "out" from Amazon EC2 in the Local Zone varies. For more information see: EC2 - On-Demand Pricing - Data Transfer within the same Amazon Region
