What is AWS Direct Connect?

AWS Direct Connect establishes a dedicated network connection from your premises to AWS. Instead of using the public internet, it allows you to create private connections between AWS and your data center, office, or colocation environment. This can reduce network costs, increase bandwidth throughput, and provide a more consistent network experience.
