Connect to AWS
AWS offers multiple connection options for infrastructure administration, user access, and
data movement. Although you can quickly and easily connect to AWS over a simple internet
connection, AWS recommends that customers connect with either AWS Site-to-Site VPN or AWS
Direct Connect. AWS Direct Connect is a network service that provides a private, secure,
and low-latency connection from your data center, office, or co-location environment to AWS.
In many cases it can reduce your network costs, increase bandwidth and throughput, and provide
a more consistent network experience than internet-based connections. Both Services can enable
secure connections, and AWS Direct Connect can provide a high-bandwidth connection suitable for
large amounts of data ingress and egress.
