AWS Direct Connect connections

AWS Direct Connect enables you to establish a dedicated network connection between your network and one of the AWS Direct Connect locations.

There are two types of connections:

• Dedicated Connection: A physical Ethernet connection associated with a single customer. Customers can request a dedicated connection through the AWS Direct Connect console, the CLI, or the API. For more information, see Dedicated connections.
• Hosted Connection: A physical Ethernet connection that an AWS Direct Connect Partner provisions on behalf of a customer. Customers request a hosted connection by contacting a partner in the AWS Direct Connect Partner Program, who provisions the connection. For more information, see Hosted connections.
