Hi Skeeve,<br>
<br>
We have a AWS Direct Connect via Megaport VxC in Sydney and a X-Connected Direct Connect in Chicago. With the VxC you only get one interface on the AWS side, as we need access to both the public and private side of AWS, we have a Public Interconnect with BGP Peering into AWS, then we run an IPSec Tunnel over the top to hook into our VPC's. If I was a service provider I would be purchasing a X-Connect.<br>
<br>
Also I had a long chat with an Amazon Solutions Architect about redundancy and the current supported options are either:<br>
<br>
a) 2 x Direct Connects with a private VLAN over each<br>
b) 2 x IPSec Tunnels over the public internet/public peering<br>
<br>
We opted to keep the same model everywhere, so we use IPSec tunnels over public peering. The idea being that if we lose L2 connectivity, the BGP session will drop and Amazon's prefixes from one of our other IP Transits will take precedence.<br>
<br>
I have the kids today so this is a bit of a ramble, but feel free to call if you want a chat +64 21 241 7206<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Bill<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I wanted to understand if there is any functional/technical difference<br>
between AWS Direct Connect via direct X-Connect or via Megaport VxC?<br>
<br>
Also, does anyone know the costs of AWS DC via X-Connect?<br>
