 [AWS Direct Connect gateway](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/directconnect/latest/UserGuide/direct-connect-gateways.html) is a global service that enables you to establish private connectivity between your on-premises networks and multiple Amazon VPCs across different AWS regions. This centralized connection hub allows you to consolidate your network architecture, reduce complexity, and maintain secure, high-bandwidth connections while avoiding public internet for your mission-critical workloads.

 ** AWS Direct Connect gateway in your own AWS account** 

To establish connection with AWS account managed by SAP, create AWS Direct Connect gateway that routes traffic from Private VIF to VPC Private Gateway. As AWS Direct Connect gateway resides in your AWS account, you can retain control over traffic routing.
