AWS Direct Connect now supports resilience testing with AWS Fault Injection Service (FIS), a fully managed service for running controlled fault injection experiments to improve application performance, observability, and resilience. With this capability, you can test and observe how your applications respond when Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) sessions over your Virtual Interfaces are disrupted and validate your resilience mechanisms.
With this new capability, you can test how your applications handle Direct Connect BGP failover in a controlled environment. For example, you can validate that traffic routes to redundant Virtual Interfaces when a primary Virtual Interface’s BGP session is disrupted and your applications continue to function as expected. This capability is particularly valuable for proactively testing Direct Connect architectures where failover is critical to maintaining network connectivity.
This new action is available in all AWS Commercial Regions where AWS FIS is offered. To learn more, visit the AWS FIS product page and the Direct Connect FIS actions user guide.
