AWS launches AWS Interconnect – last mile, a fully managed connectivity offering that allows customers to connect their branch offices, data centers, and remote locations to AWS with just a few clicks, eliminating the friction of discovering partners and the complexity of network setup. As a milestone collaboration between AWS and Lumen, AWS Interconnect – last mile combines AWS cloud innovation with Lumen’s extensive network footprint to redefine how businesses connect to the cloud.
Customers can now instantly establish private, high-speed connections to AWS by simply entering their location, selecting bandwidth, and choosing their AWS Region. The launch simplifies the connectivity experience by automating complex network configuration including BGP peering, VLAN configuration, and ASN assignment. Customers can dynamically scale bandwidth from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps through the AWS console and benefit from zero down-time maintenance. The service is architected for high availability and backed by SLAs. MACsec encryption is enabled by default for enhanced security between AWS Direct Connect and partner devices.
AWS Interconnect – last mile is available as a gated preview through Lumen, our launch partner, for customers in US starting today. Request access here.
