[AusNOG] AWS With Megaport

[Matthew VK3EVL]

Are you sure?

https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/faqs/

*Q. Can I extend one of my VLANs to the AWS Cloud using AWS Direct 
Connect?*

No, VLANs are utilized in AWS Direct Connect only to separate traffic 
between virtual interfaces.


There may be creative ways to kind of achieve it but not out of the 
box... megaport itself can span a broadcast domain but AWS is the 
limiting factor here.

If you know of a way around this i'd be extremely interested to know.

Cheers
Matthew
