HNCOST07-BP01 Use dedicated connection for high-volume predictable traffic
Deploy dedicated connection for production workloads requiring consistent, high-bandwidth connectivity between on-premises and cloud environments. Dedicated connection offers lower per-GB costs compared to IPSec VPN and avoids internet variability.
Desired outcome: Predictable, reduced data transfer costs for mission-critical workloads.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: Medium
Benefits of establishing this best practice:
-
cost savings versus VPN for high-volume traffic
-
Improved performance and reliability
Implementation guidance
-
Start with low bandwidth dedicated connections and scale up with high bandwidth connections or multiple connections with LAG
