Today, AWS announced the opening of a new AWS Direct Connect location within East African Data Centres NBO1 near Nairobi, Kenya. You can now establish private, direct network access to all public AWS Regions (except those in China), AWS GovCloud Regions, and AWS Local Zones from this location. This site is the first AWS Direct Connect location in Kenya. This Direct Connect location offers dedicated 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps connections with MACsec encryption available.
The Direct Connect service enables you to establish a private, physical network connection between AWS and your data center, office, or colocation environment. These private connections can provide a more consistent network experience than those made over the public internet.
For more information on the over 145 Direct Connect locations worldwide, visit the locations section of the Direct Connect product detail pages. Or, visit our getting started page to learn more about how to purchase and deploy Direct Connect.
