Used to create a virtual interface and provides an encrypted connection over the internet
Sometimes, we face problems in creating a setup or installing AWS Direct Connect. We select a Direct Connect gateway, then create a Direct Connect gateway, then attach the gateway with the VPC, and create a customer gateway. Sometimes, it creates an issue, but we completely create and install the solution. I would recommend the solution to other users. AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated physical network connection. After establishing a physical connection, we can create a virtual interface to connect to our virtual private cloud in AWS. We provide private network connectivity for accessing resources within our VPC. We can configure the solution to create a hybrid network that combines the private connectivity of AWS Direct Connect with the flexibility of a VPN connection. It is useful where redundancy and failover are critical. Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.
