HNCOST06-BP02 Separate traffic classes for dedicated connections
Create multiple dedicated connections for distinct traffic classes such as production versus backups. Assign guaranteed bandwidth to critical dedicated connections and use best-effort routing for dedicated connections.
Desired outcome: Cost-effective traffic segregation with guaranteed SLAs for priority workloads.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: Low
Benefits of establishing this best practice:
-
Simplifies cost allocation by traffic type
-
Enables independent scaling of traffic classes
-
Complies with network isolation requirements
Implementation guidance
-
Configure separate BGP communities for dedicated connection. For example, you can achieve this using AWS Direct Connection VIFs on dedicated connections.
